Tapasweni Pathak
I am a software developer working with SAP Labs, open source contributor, living in Bengaluru, India.
I enjoy programming and learning new things in Computer Science. I have few side projects which I maintain. Mostly I spend my time with C, C++ and Python. I like contributing to and helping other people contribute to open source software.
I am committed to applying my skills, in individual and collective efforts, to improve the small world I can have an effect on. Right now, this means I spend a lot of time volunteering, engaging open source contributors, and empowering effective people and initiatives.
You see the panda on left? I will have this face if you talk about something cool you are working on. Most of the time these will be the things I know very less about. There is so much to know!
