I'm a big Linux fan. I'm creative and I love developing new things. I love learning new frameworks and trying them out. I love to sing and listen to music!

Strengths: I plunge into a task given to me and don't rest till I finish it!

Weaknesses: I'm a perfectionist and end up overdoing everything so it takes me a lot of all-nighters finish stuff]]> 2022-05-30 17:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2204891213 Katja katjaurak https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2208929422 I am a Student for Teacher Education in Mathematics and Informatics and part of the Catrobat Team since 2020. 
I have had the privilege of holding several programming and robotics workshops with children and young people. In the courses, the participants have programmed directly on their own smartphone with pocket code. I am thrilled how quickly children and young people can create their own games and programs.
In my free time I love to take pictures or work in the garden. That offers a good balance.]]> 2022-06-02 12:46:33 UTC https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2208929422 Aakash https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2210708766 Hi everyone!
I'm a CSE junior from Bengaluru, India. For the summer, I have chosen Awesome Demo Game Project (175Hr). Treasure hunting has always been among the most-talked themes. It’s evergreen! Inspired by the award-winning Spelunky, Alex and the Uncharted Expedition takes you on an adventurous journey.

I am an Android Developer. The way one can shrink their creativity and logic into mobile screens to flare huge ideas amazes me. My hobbies include listening music and doodling. I enjoy playing basketball and football the most!

I wish to grow in fields apart from the standard syllabi that will genuinely shape society and the environment I'll work in, in a positive uprising manner. Hence, the follow-up motivation and an interest to learn game development inspired me to choose and learn with Catrobat. And as Steve Jobs said “The only way to do great work is to love what you do!”
Here I am!]]> 2022-06-04 03:46:49 UTC https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2210708766 Saarthak https://padlet.com/wslany/rkt4pnvr135s8kns/wish/2210846446 Hi everyone,
I'm pursuing my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering at Delhi Technological University, India.
I'm currently working as Software Engineering Intern at Atlassian.
I have been part of the Paintroid team for over a year now and have also successfully completed my GSoC'21 project last summer here at Catrobat.

I have experience in android and backend development. I am also an avid competitive programmer and actively compete in coding contests across different platforms.

In my free time I love to play video games, guitar, cricket, football, etc..

  • 3rd year IT undergrad
  • Mobile app developer (iOS, Android, Flutter)
  • Likes to drive, draw, sing, click photos
  • Watches anime; no books :(
  • Contributor for GSoC '22

 Intro
"Loves to build stuff with 1s and 0s" is what I would describe myself in one line. Coding on dev projects is like play-time to me. Be it games, apps, or even simple scripts. Primarily, I call myself a Mobile App Developer (iOS, Android, Flutter).

 Hobbies
One of my favorite things to do is going out on no-destination random drives (esp. when the weather is awesome). Other than that, music, art, and photography keep me occupied.

 Music
Bruno Major, Masego, and Lucky Daye are a few of the artists I'm listening to the most these days. If you know about Tiny Desk Concerts or Colors, let's talk!

 People
Fan of Uncle Bob (for his excellent lecturing skills), Arnav Gupta, and of course, Elon Musk.

 Books
Books are my weakness :'( Unless it's something work-related, I would rather watch the movie/series than read its book.

 Films
Open to all genres. I admire good cinematography. I also watch anime ^_^

 Games
Physical: Badminton, Billiards
Digital: Valorant, Minecraft, Rocket League, The Last of Us, Batman: Arkham Knight

 Education
IT Undergrad (Year 3 of 4) @ Delhi Technological University, India

 GSoC
I'll be working as a contributor this summer. Although my original project is to refactor the test suite of Catroid from Java to Kotlin, there is another experiment in the works that involves Kotlin Multiplatform to share code of Paintroid with Catty (iOS version of Pocket Code). Excited to make it a success!

(Apologies for going a little overboard...)
