From Mechanical Engineering to Google Summer of Code 2024 

Inspiring Journey from Mechanical Engineering to Google Summer of Code 2024
This podcast features an exceptional Mechanical Engineering student, Perminder Singh, from my alma mater, BIT Sindri. 🎓💼
In this episode, we delve into his remarkable journey from taking his first steps in coding to becoming the only student from BIT Sindri selected for Google Summer of Code 2024. 🌟
Despite academic setbacks and initial disappointments in open-source contributions, his resilience shines through. After dedicating 5-6 months to an organization that ultimately wasn’t chosen for GSOC, he didn’t lose heart. Instead, he pivoted, contributing to another organization in the last month and securing his spot in the prestigious program.
