About Parth Verma

Founder @ Open Drill — building a platform that helps CS students practice real open-source contributions through structured, production-grade problems from React, Django, Kubernetes, and more.I\'m a first-year B.Tech student at Poornima University specializing in AI/ML, but I don\'t wait for permission to build.@Pallavi Sharma and I started Open Drill because we saw how broken the open-source learning experience is — students are told it\'s essential but given zero guidance on how to actually contribute. So we built something to fix that.What I\'m working on- Open Drill: Extracting real GitHub issues, building learning frameworks, creating verifiable portfolios- 365 Days of DSA in Java: Grinding data structures and algorithms daily- Full-stack development: MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) with Tailwind, Material UI- Learning SAS and deepening my AI/ML foundationsTechnical toolkit- Frontend: React (my favorite), HTML/CSS, JavaScript, Bootstrap, Tailwind, Material UI, Unicorn Studio, React Bits- Backend: Node.js, Express, MongoDB- Other: Git/GitHub, terminal workflows, OCI AI Foundations certified(Oracle)I learn by building, breaking, and fixing. My code isn\'t always perfect, but it ships. I push myself to the limit — sometimes it\'s exhausting, but that\'s how I grow. Currently balancing startup building, DSA grinding, and exploring the intersection of AI and web tech.Past experience:Internship @ Unified Mentor: Built real projects, solved real problemsCompleted OCI AI Foundations courseMultiple full-stack projects (some clean, some chaotic, all learning experiences)What\'s next:Building Open Drill into a platform that changes how developers learn. Also working on full-stack apps that blend AI and web tech. Planning to contribute more to open source (after we teach thousands of others how to do it first ).Let\'s connect if you:Are a student trying to break into open sourceWork in edtech, developer tools, or startupsWant to collaborate on interesting projectsNeed a co-founder who builds fast and learns fasterAlways open to internships, freelance work, or just chatting about startups, AI/ML, or web dev.
