Hi I'm codingGee. I'm currently contributing to an open source project, I would love to call the name but at this point i'm really uncertain about it but it's from Zuri. It's my first and it feels great being part so something huge that's molding me for greater opportunities and challenges in the future.

I was and still successful because of the team spirit. I was part of team Einstein haha we were really Einstein in the making and we worked together treating every issues and task assigned to everyone. We'd create a google meet and make sure everyone is learning and working effectively. The bond we created made us successful in every task assigned to us.

If i was to advice anyone on open source projects i'd say go for it! The sleepless nights, internet data exhaustion and many more sacrifice is worth the experience. It sharpens your skill and prepares you for real world challenge as a developer.

Everything I did brought me successfully to the end, I don't think there's anything I would have done differently :D
