When I'm not coding for work or school, here's what keeps me busy.
I regularly participate in competitive programming contests on platforms like Codeforces, LeetCode, and HackerRank. These challenges help me improve my algorithmic thinking and problem-solving abilities under time constraints. I particularly enjoy dynamic programming and graph algorithm problems.
I'm passionate about giving back to the developer community by contributing to open source projects. I focus on web development frameworks and security-related libraries, where I can apply my expertise. Contributing to open source has helped me improve my code quality, learn best practices, and collaborate with developers worldwide.
Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions are my way of applying cybersecurity knowledge in practical scenarios. These competitions involve solving security challenges across various categories like web exploitation, cryptography, reverse engineering, and forensics. CTFs have helped me develop a security-first mindset that I apply to all my development work.
Hackathons provide an exciting environment to build something new in a short timeframe. I enjoy the challenge of rapidly prototyping ideas and working with cross-functional teams. Hackathons have taught me to prioritize features, make quick decisions, and present technical concepts effectively to judges and audiences.
