  Open-source Active Contributor

  Contributing to open-source projects has been a wonderful and rewarding experience; Not only do I give back to the community but also I gain new knowledge and get to know other developers who are interested in the same field as mine.

• Apr 2015 - Present
  Stack Overflow Active Contributor

  As I gain knowledge from Stack Overflow, I like to return it by helping other developers as well, and so I usually answer questions on Stack Overflow whenever possible. Currently I have 2 bronze tag badges,  android  and  android-layout , and looking forward to increase those tag badges.

  • Ranked in Top 8% Users Overall, having a reputation of 5,060+.
  • Answered 154 questions, making impact on more than 276k people.
  • Helped new Stack Overflow users to feel more welcome on Stack Overflow by volunteering in Mentorship Research Project, where I guided new Stack Overflow users in asking a good readable understandable question.
