For my personal website, I wanted to break into front-end web development and build a static, fully-responsive page from scratch. Technologies/Domains: Website Development, UI/UX Design, Figma, Bulma, HTML/SCSS.

I started designing the project in Figma. Over the course of 1-2 weeks, I explored different directions, went through multiple iterations, and distilled the most important information I wanted to share. Eventually, I decided on using parallelograms and vibrant gradients as the main design elements of my medium.

After many previous not-so-pleasant attempts at writing CSS, I doubled down on my research to make the design-to-html process as painless as possible while preserving fidelity. I considered Bulma and Tailwind, and chose the former as my CSS framework because of its completeness and focus on responsive design. After teaching myself the basics, I started coding the design. In order to not reinvent the wheel, I leveraged bulma-modal-fx and glide.js for modals and carousels. After another week of continous coding, copywriting, resizing assets and debugging, I produced what you now see.

In 2018, I was selected as the first Grand-Prize Winner from Mauritius for Drupal from 3550 students in Google Code-in, a global programming competition for high-school students. Over the course of 7 weeks, I completed 22 tasks that involved Programming, Design, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, & Quality Assurance. My most notable accomplishments were:

• Creating Social Auth Reddit, Amazon, and Discord. Today, these modules have ~1000 combined downloads.
• Porting Gist Input Filter and other modules to Drupal 8
• Fixing various bugs/issues in Drupal Core and community modules
• Creating new documentation for Social Auth Twitter among others.
• Renewing Google Code-in students' documentation and migrating it to the new Drupal.org documentation system.
• Designing a new logo for the Social Initiative project, attached below:

Thanks to my participation, I learned PHP, Drupal, Git, and gained valuable insights into open-source programming practices. As part of my reward, I was flown to Google HQ, San Francisco, where I got to attend talks by Googlers and connect with terrific people all over the world.

Google Code-In was a major turning point in my life. Currently, I give back by mentoring students, both online in the contest, and offline through workshops and programming sessions.

In 2018, I started Studento, a student-assistant mobile app, as my entry for the National Science Quest by RGSC. It ended up winning the Gold Prize in the highest category from 600+ students. Technologies/Domains: Mobile App Development, UI/UX Design, Flutter, Android, Figma.

Studento's main aim is to reduce the friction CIE students faced during exam preparation and daily routines. With that in mind, it included the following features:

• Easy access to O/A Level past papers and marking schemes (within 15 seconds, compared to online sites that took >5 minutes and lot more effort)
• A concise schedule system for each day's classes
• Easy access to each subject's syllabi
• A todo-list for keeping track of events, homework, and deadlines.

I continued working on the prototype and released the full-fledged app on the Play Store at the start of 2020. It currently has over a thousand monthly users who have accesss to virtually every CIE subject, a 4.7 rating, and a lot more downloads.

In 2017, after being frustrated with the lack of platforms for students to engage with tech, I started MoHack. MoHack is now a recurring part of my life as I continue to host the largest student hackathon in Mauritius each year. As the main organizer, my responsibilities and tasks include(d):

• Procuring sponsors for covering costs and providing hackathon winners with prizes.
• Creating the MoHack brand identity, sponsorship prospectus, and all other physical & digital promotional materials.
• Creating the official MoHack landing page and registration form/flow.
• Managing all logistics and email communications with participants.
• Hosting the event, delivering keynotes, and mentoring participants.

In 2017, the biggest online creative community of creatives in Mauritius hosted a design contest as they required a new name and brand identity. My submission-- Creatist Space-- was selected to be among the jury's top-3. Technologies/Domains: Photoshop, Illustrator, Branding
