In 2005, I had the extraordinary opportunity to be one of the first five Indians selected to participate in the inaugural Google Summer of Code program. My project involved working with Mozilla, focusing on developing a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor for XUL (XML User Interface Language), a markup language used for creating Mozilla’s user interfaces.

In the summer of 2005, as a budding software engineer, I had the opportunity to intern at Tekriti Software in Gurgaon, India. This internship provided me with a unique challenge: to develop a Personal Video Recording (PVR) prototype, similar to TiVo, using off-the-shelf hardware and open-source software.

In the summer of 2006, I had the exciting opportunity to participate in the Google Summer of Code program, working with the Open Source Development Labs (OSDL). My project focused on improving the testing infrastructure for NFSv4 (Network File System version 4), a crucial component in distributed file systems.
