goal = "Build real things, contribute to real codebases, and earn my first internship."
mindset = "Learn → Build → Contribute → Repeat"I'm a first-year Computer Science student focused on developing strong software engineering fundamentals through hands-on projects, open-source contributions, and consistent problem solving.
Rather than collecting technologies, I'm focused on understanding how things actually work — from writing Python and solving problems to using Git, working with existing codebases, writing tests, debugging, and submitting pull requests.

DevForge — Testing & Contribution Work
Contributed to the NST-DEVFORGE/DevForge repository while learning the complete open-source development workflow.
| Area | Details |
|---|---|
| Repository | DevForge |
| Focus | Testing & code quality |
| Work | Added unit tests for existing GitHub-related utilities |
| Tests | prState, repoNameFromUrl, isQualityRepo |
| Validation | Vitest test suite |
| Workflow | Branch → Code → Test → Commit → Push → Pull Request |
The contribution helped me practice working inside an existing codebase instead of only writing projects from scratch.
