Welcome Azad!
Hello everyone, I’m Azad, a final-year computer science undergraduate with a strong passion for building software solutions to everyday problems. I enjoy tackling challenges that seem chaotic and progressively breaking them down to find solutions, building the solutions interatively at each step. I strongly believe in learning by doing, which often leads me to put myself in tough situations, and that’s where I expand my skillset. This curiosity is what brought me to GSoC and open-source. Initially, open-source seemed very challenging, but that’s exactly what made it more intriguing and engaging for me.
My GSoC project, Talawa Offline Capability Enhancement, stems from my curiosity where I identified a gap in the Talawa mobile application and proposed it as a potential idea to the mentors. My project brings essential offline features that any modern, user-centric mobile app should have. Alongside this, I also lead a tech community at my college where we collaborate on projects, share knowledge, and explore exciting new ideas together. I’m also deeply interested in building startups and scaling the solutions we create.
