🙋🏻♀️ Volunteering
Sharing my amazing experience volunteering at two global tech conferences this year in Amsterdam. At JS Nation and React Summit events, I got the chance to dive deep into the world of tech, meet fellow developers from different parts of the world, get introduced to the supportive tech community and meet the instructors I learnt from in person. This unique experience propelled me to try my hand at developing projects using JavaScript, React and React Native. Happy to help anyone looking to bag a Scholarship or volunteer and give back to the community!

☀️ Life in NL
Growing up in India, I got unique opportunities to live in different parts of the country. This taught me to learn to adapt to a new environment quickly, make new friends, and learn the local culture. I did my Bachelor's in Computer Science with Management, which honed me with both technical and managerial skills. Post-university, I decided to be a part of the upcoming startup culture in India, utilising my education at a fast-growing e-commerce startup.
Shortly, through my work and during COVID lockdowns, I observed the insane amount of single-use plastic waste consumption and decided to do something about it. I brought my idea to life through refill.life, offering refillable personal care liquids to the neighbourhoods. But sadly, I had to shut it down due to subsequent lockdowns and infection waves. Learn more about the project through this video.
I decided to continue my interest in Sustainability and joined Utrecht University. I learnt a lot about Energy and Climate Action but felt the program to be less practical. I decided to pause my studies and pick up programming languages where I had left them. I often think about interesting user solutions and try different productivity apps that I enjoy in my day-to-day life. I started tech projects to bring some of those ideas to life. Since I enjoyed my move to the Netherlands, I decided to stay, work here, make new colleagues and build meaningful apps that help people.
✨ My Passion
When I'm not immersed in coding or strategising for startups, I unleash my creativity. Dancing has always held a special place in my heart, allowing me to embrace and express my artistic side fully. I also enjoy teaching different art forms to my near and dear ones. Besides this, I love to paint, photograph, and bike. I am currently challenging myself to learn Dutch and improve my level from A2 to B2 in a year. Wish me luck!
