The Student Leadership Conclave is a forum envisioned by IIT Gandhinagar students to bring together the student leaders of all IITs to brainstorm the solutions to different issues the student community faces. The conclave has been highly successful, with more than 20 IITs participating each year. As a member of the organizing team for SLC 2021 and 2022, I was involved in forming the agendas that were discussed upon by the student leaders and in developing its official website.

As Webmaster, I was responsible for maintaining and updating the official website of the student academic council.

Gained experience with ReactJS, Ant Design, Django, OpenLayers (ol) and Turf libraries to develop and maintain the user facing elements integrated securely with internal backend. Coordinated with various agile teams to understand user requirements and provide technical solutions. High level performance was ensured using Scrum framework and JIRA software. Built a self-serving training module for cartographers, a feature rich dashboard for the internal APIs, and a platform for generating shareable links of client properties, that displays the GeoJSON data of the cartographers’ outputs as separate layers on a OpenLayers map (Main Project).
