Community design
Applied Campus Expert training to understand community needs, create accessible workshops and focus on continuity and impact.
Case study / Technical community leadership
GCE · GitHub Campus Expert
From student community leadership to builder experiences.
My GitHub Campus Expert journey shaped how I approach technical communities: understand what learners need, create useful experiences and give people a reason to keep building. CodeWave Hub and HackPrix are two parts of that journey.

Featured experience
CodeWave Hub
A student-led space for technical learning and collaboration.
As founder / lead associated with CodeWave Hub, I helped create workshops, technical sessions, open-source activities and opportunities for student leadership. Hacktoberfest on 18–19 October 2023 brought 250+ participants into practical learning around repositories, web development and contribution workflows.
Featured experience
HackPrix
Taking the community journey into a builder-focused experience.
HackPrix is part of the progression from learning and connecting to collaborating on ideas, building under constraints and sharing work. It sits alongside CodeWave Hub within this Campus Expert story as a space focused on making and showcasing.
03 / Work done
From intent to execution
Developer education
Explained Git and GitHub, contribution workflows and open-source practices through hands-on activities and technical communication.
Student ownership
Created opportunities for members to organize, speak, mentor and take responsibility for community experiences.
04 / Impact
What the work enabled
Community infrastructure
Student-led spaces supported repeated learning, organizing and collaboration.
Open-source exposure
Hacktoberfest introduced contribution as a practical developer skill.
A foundation for later work
Workshop design, communication and community experience informed LSA, HackUnion and OpenBuild Week.
05 / Reflection
What I took forward
Community gives learning somewhere to go. A workshop becomes more valuable when it leads to a contribution, a project or the next opportunity to build.
