My journey at IIIT Dharwad has been transformative, fostering academic, personal, and professional growth. With support from professors and peers, I explored technical fields ranging from Web Development to AI, Machine Learning, and cybersecurity. Serving as Chair of the IEEE Student Branch Club allowed me to engage in events that foster innovation and teamwork, preparing me for post-college challenges. Through workshops and seminars, I gained valuable tech-driven skills, while faculty guidance inspired me to pursue my passions wholeheartedly. Collaborating with peers on innovative solutions deepened my appreciation for teamwork and creativity.

One of my most memorable experiences was being part of the organizing team for Hack2Future, the first national-level hackathon at our college. I was Co-lead of the Technical Team in the hackathon. From coordinating with participants and judges to managing the technical setup, every moment was a lesson in collaboration, leadership, and resilience. The energy and passion of the participants was truly inspiring to witness. It was a privilege to work alongside an amazing group of mentors, organizers, and participants. Every moment was a rewarding learning journey. I will cherish this experience for the rest of my life.
To all the juniors, my advice is to embrace every opportunity you get—whether it’s joining a club, organizing events, or simply learning something new. Challenges may seem daunting at first, but each one is an opportunity to grow. Stay curious, keep exploring, and remember that you are part of an amazing community that is here to support you every step of the way.
