Hi everyone, I’m a 3rd-year B.Tech ICT student looking for a summer internship, freelance projects, or mentorship as I head into the upcoming placement season.

I recently put everything into my GSoC 2026 proposal. Missing the final cut by just one slot was tough, but the process validated my technical skills and my ability to architect real-world solutions.

What I bring to the table:

• Frontend Development: Strong command of modern frameworks and building clean, seamless user experiences.
• Core CS Fundamentals: Solid understanding of Operating Systems, DBMS, and Computer Networks.
• Data & DSA: Good grasp of Data Structures & Algorithms alongside hands-on experience with Big Data Processing.

If your team is looking for a proactive engineering intern who can contribute from day one, I would love to connect. I am actively looking for referrals and would appreciate any leads for internship or job processes. Please feel free to drop a message in my DMs—my resume and GSoC proposal are ready to share.

To the industry seniors here: What are the biggest gaps you see between 3rd-year students and current industry expectations? What should I prioritize mastering next to bridge that gap?

Thank you for your time and wisdom!
