I'm a 20 year old student from India, excited about FLOSS tools, people and events. Oh, and I especially love FLOSS designers, so I'm trying to be of help.
I'm the co-founder/CEO at [https://codecrafters.io/ CodeCrafters] (YC S22).

I've been involved with the Fedora project for almost two years now. I'm part of the design team, mostly directing my efforts towards GlitterGallery. I'm also Fedora Ambassador for the Asia Pacific region. I have been a Google Summer of Code student for two years now, and look forward to mentoring in the upcoming years.
