Hello everyone, I’m Aditya Rathi.
I’m a Full Stack Web Developer proficient in the MERN stack, Next.js, Python, and Django. I’m excited to contribute and add value to this community.
 
I’m Anshuman, a student and full-stack developer, currently exploring open-source with the goal of contributing seriously and applying for GSoC 2026.

I’ve worked mostly with backend systems (Node.js/Express, APIs, databases) and admin/dashboard-style applications, and I’m particularly interested in developer experience and infrastructure improvements as well.

Talawa caught my attention because it’s a real-world, community-driven platform with clear scope for backend, admin, and dev-infra improvements. I’m currently setting up the project locally and going through the API and admin codebases to understand the architecture.

Looking forward to learning from the community, picking up good first issues, and contributing meaningfully over the coming months.

Thanks, and happy to be here!
