• After spending more than a decade working in the industry without a meaningfully long break, I decided to pursue working on my Physical and Mental Health.
• I used this time to explore some of the side-projects that were close to my heart, tinker with my Raspberry Pi 5, create a NAS out of an old External Hard Drive (who wants to pay Google for storage, am I right?) and Building a Universal Clipboard Manager for easy clipboard sync across my own devices.

• Worked on guiding young minds into Software Engineering. These students were from diverse backgrounds, including non-CSE students. They were freshers to the Software industry and were enrolled into a 6 month program with Newton School.
• My roles and responsibilities included the following:
• 1. Helping students to complete their projects and assignments
• 2. Explaining and clearing React, Data Structures and Algorithms, HTML and CSS concepts
• 3. Keeping the motivation levels up
• 4. Preparing students for interviews
• The most important aspect of the role was to impart knowledge on how to think and deconstruct a complex problem into simpler ones. Instead of serving concepts on a platter, I believe it was in their best interest to teach them how to break down a problem and understand things on their own.
• I believe I have tried to teach students how to learn, which is perhaps the only thing needed to survive and grow in the field of Software Engineering.
• My biggest takeaway from this role was that I was able to improve my communication skills on how to explain things.

• Mailcast App
• October, 2017 - December, 2017

• Google Calendar App
• Framework used: Vue.js

• I revamped the app to use Service Workers and Vue.js which in turn decreased the load times and improved the Lighthouse audit score.
• FlockOS Components
• Framework: Vue.js
• This is an ongoing activity in which I created a repository of highly reusable components that adhere to Flock's design language. The components are highly configurable and provide easy and quick solutions to most designs that a developer might come across.
