About me

I'm a final year MS student who is genuinely interested in Open Source & Free Software. I'm a huge fan of Linux Operating Systems and of course, Fedora is my go-to! I got into open-source communities and projects in late 2023 when I started learning to code.


Back in the day, I was really into hardware and graphic design, with over 4 years of experience in both. Though I’m more familiar with older-generation technologies, but it still helps me pick up new stuff pretty easily :D

Fellowship - Red Hat

In January 2025, I started Fedora Fellowship at Red Hat, sponsored by the Fedora Community Architect. I'm working closely with the Fedora Infrastructure Team and the Red Hat Community Linux Engineering Team. My main focus is on the UI side of things, especially in helping migrate from Pagure to Forgejo; a new platform we're deploying for Fedora :)

Currenly I'm working on customizing Forgejo's appearance with Fedora-themed design and refining it's UI structure. There's still a lot to do, but I'm excited for the journey ahead :)
