Meet Diyanshu Gautam

Divyanshu is one of our GitHub code maintainers. He’s been actively participating in the repository for the past year, starting with the refactoring of our Talawa code base to make it better support multiple organizations. In recent months Divyanshu has been providing further guidance on our strategy to migrate from Talawa’s MongoDB supported API, to a more suitable PostgreSQL back end database. Great work Divyanshu!


Hi! I’m Divyanshu Gautam, a Computer Science student at JKLU, passionate about problem-solving and bringing ideas to life through technology. My interest in coding sparked during college, and since then, I’ve been dedicated to exploring and learning the latest advancements in the tech world.

The Palisadoes Foundation first came to my attention while I was researching Google Summer of Code (GSOC) organizations. Their mission to uplift under-served communities through tech education aligned perfectly with my personal values, sparking my interest in contributing. Becoming part of the Talawa project was a transformative experience—not only because of the project’s open-source nature and excellent documentation but also due to the supportive, collaborative community behind it.

Through the Palisadoes Foundation, I was given the opportunity to become an official member of the organization, allowing me to contribute on a higher level. This experience has enriched my skills, broadened my understanding of collaborative development, and deepened my commitment to making a positive impact through technology.

I’d love to connect and share ideas—feel free to reach out!
