Girlscript summer of code

Participant at GSSOC

Mar 2021 – May 2021 · 2 mos

With the help of over 20 young developers, the SFC foundation's website was built from the ground up as part of Girlscript's summer of code.
Working on this project was a blast, and I met a lot of new individuals. I was able to help many students get started with opensource by organizing virtual meetups to teach git and GitHub.
In the end, it was well worth it. We were able to remove the existing WordPress website in only three months.
