I am Shubhankar. I am a CSE student and currently a junior. In my sophomore phase, I was very intrigued by the world of open sourcing and it would always be a weird puzzle for me to even understand the term <code>git</code> LOL!! I am always excited about learning new stuff though my endurance might be a bit low on sticking to plan.</p> <p>I like to travel a lot, especially to places which attract the crowd because I love observing people. Apart from that I also like being a tech-geek (I am not but I want to be).</p> <h3> Background </h3> <p>Hacktoberfest has been a very nice journey. The full month of October I was busy in my semester exams as well. But by the end of the month somehow I could finish off with my PRs and I have overall made 7 PRs till now in the month of October.</p> <h3> Contributions </h3> <p>My interest area is in Angular, javascript and C++, and these contributions justify my choices of working with these issues.</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/DevTony101/js-todo-app-indexed_db/pull/5">todo-app</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/itsmais/word-cloud-subreddit/pull/5">subreddit-cloud</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/openMF/web-app/pull/1264">refactoring web-app</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/openMF/web-app/pull/1259">refactoring web-app</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/DXHeroes/dx-scanner/pull/467">linting practice in C++</a></li> </ul> <h3> Reflections </h3> <p>The exposure that I got in Hacktoberfest was worth it. I could establish proper communications, had many discussions with the code maintainers as well. Learnt much during each process of making a PR. I was also introduced to some industry-level standards as well.</p> <p>I will continue and explore repositories and if some idea resonates would try to contribute to it further. </p> <p>Looking forward to a much more enriching experience.</p> hacktoberfest
