I am a developer by practice and a teacher by habit. Hackathons played a massive role in shaping who I am today. They were the places where I learned new skills overnight, tested them under pressure, and turned learning into real outcomes, including career opportunities and global exposure. Over the years, I have worked on Web3 products, led blockchain teams, mentored and judged hackathons, spoken at conferences, and worked closely with students and developers across different skill levels. Teaching and mentoring became a natural extension of my own learning process.
