📈Growth

My Skillset Before Hacktoberfest 2023
Before Hacktoberfest 2023, I considered myself a proficient developer with experience in various languages and tools. However, I had limited experience with open source contributions.

How I Improved
This Hacktoberfest, I honed several skills:

Git Proficiency: I now confidently navigate Git and version control, a crucial skill for open source collaboration.

Code Quality: Working with experienced developers improved the quality of my code. I now adhere to best practices and maintain clean, well-documented code.

Problem-Solving: Tackling complex issues in open source projects sharpened my problem-solving skills and taught me the value of seeking help when needed.

Community Engagement: I became an active member of open source communities, refining my communication and teamwork skills.
