Tell us about yourself
I’m an open-source developer who started my journey earlier this year through the LFX Mentorship program, where I contributed to multiple open-source repositories. Currently, I’m in my 3rd year of college and have completed impactful internships, gaining strong hands-on experience along the way. Alongside academics, I’m also building two startups.
Recently, I faced a critical problem in real-world workflows that led me to create GitMesh, an open-source project now supported by the Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust.

Additional Information
GitMesh is a cutting-edge Git collaboration network designed to solve open source's biggest challenge: contributor dropout. Our AI-powered platform provides real-time branch-level insights, intelligent contributor-task matching, and automated workflows. It transforms complex codebases into clear, guided contribution journeys—fueling engagement with gamified rewards, bounties, and integration with popular open source support programs.
We've been lucky to get some awesome validation from the community. We're a Linux Foundation & LF Decentralized Trust supported project, we've teamed up with AIFAQ Hyperledger Labs, and we're already being used by folks in major ecosystems like the Linux kernel and CNCF.
Secured GitMesh slots at the 2025 Open Source Summits in Korea and Japan, and earned 100+ GitHub stars within one month of launch, strong early validation for the project.
