Hi, I’m Priyankar Shukla — an aspiring Software Development Engineer, open-source contributor, and tech community builder.
I enjoy building things, solving problems, and learning through real-world projects. My journey into technology has also led me to the open-source ecosystem, where I contribute to projects, collaborate with developers, and continuously improve my technical skills.
Beyond coding, I’m passionate about building tech communities, organizing developer-focused initiatives, and helping students discover opportunities in technology and open source.
I believe the best way to grow is to keep learning, keep building, and keep sharing. My goal is to become a strong software engineer while creating meaningful impact through technology and community.
