Open Source Contributions

I'm Akash Goel, a software engineer at AWS and MSCS student at Westcliff University. I've been contributing to open-source projects since my undergraduate days — from ecological data tools through Google Summer of Code to free educational resources through FOSSEE at IIT Bombay. This page showcases my open-source contributions and the communities I've been fortunate to be a part of.
