An open source research strategist and tech diversity community management specialist, developing new, and improving existing, computer-based technologies, systems, and solutions in advanced open source ecosystems. I am more of a research person and love doing researches around the products and communities. Contributing through unique ideas is my biggest encouragement to myself. Working in the field of Research publishing, media and development of cornucopia of technologies that are inclined towards help in the learning of a better future. Being astute and sagaciously involved with open source stuff I love devoting time towards mentoring in various programs that helps build OSS/FOSS technological solutions for a better tomorrow in open-source ecosystem.
I have been working quite a while with various communities in the open-source, helping them maintain good relationships with external communities and projects, organizing meetups and events generating FOSS ecosystem, supporting the community in the outreach, creation of tools, and process with good relationships.
I help organizations understand, use, release, and contribute to free and open-source software in a way that’s good for both their end-users and for the community.
Simplifying above, "I'm passionate about open source::heart:"

“If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original.” - Ken Robinson
Failure:disappointed:is the condiment that gives success its flavor. I think if you couldn't have been attracted by the gravitational pull your chances of checklisting he things could reduce. What I mean by that for people reading this is, I couldn't have achieved anything that sort of unltil I would've put myself in the challenging siutations. My every greatest success:trophy:had been just one step beyond the greatest failure.
The small instance of my past time when I first stepped into the open source world at the age of 14, It was the year 2014 when I participated for the first time in the Google Code-In contest. I never knew what open-source and Google Code-In was before when I started but I was more desperate to get “Google Swags”(T-shirt, Hoodie, and Digital Certificate) and avail Google Grand Prize Winner slot in this contest. Commencing from solving more quantity tasks related to designs and documentation category with no prior experience in coding and ended up doing two imitated coding tasks which resulted in a “frozen account” email from GCI Program manager after a few days and disqualification of me from the contest. So, one instance of failure that has taught me well about a valuable lesson that I only gained because of the experience I gathered after messing up.This taught me a good lesson and showed me a better path that has already given me great opportunities to contribute to open source.
Excited thing that happened after this was that I got a chance to travel to the Google HQ, California, USA as a part of GSoC mentor Summit and through same people(GCI Program Manager). Here is one proud moment click!. I am very much grateful for it.
You (The Reader):scientist: my advice for you is to dig deep, try to understand the problem in every aspect, don't feel discouragement, be full of zeal, and exuberantly give your best shot for every momnent you come across. When you take risks, you learn that there will be times when you succeed, and there will be times when you fail, and both are equally important.
