FOSS United — Campus Lead
Conducted multiple seminars on open source — what it means, why it matters, and how to get started contributing to real projects. The goal was to demystify open source and show that you don’t need to be a senior engineer to make meaningful contributions.
Ran hands-on workshops on Linux and programming — covering the command line, Git workflows, basic shell scripting, and introductory Python/Go sessions. Focused on practical skills that students could immediately apply in their own projects or coursework.
Over 50 students attended these sessions, and several went on to make their first pull request to public repositories as a direct result.
Why this matters
Backend dev is hard when you’re alone. Communities make it easier. I got here by help from others, so passing that forward just makes sense.
