Amazing start with 2 Mentees and 25+ subscribers

Extremely excited to share my first EVER milestone with the community!

Let me introduce myself...
Hi, I'm Kashyap, an experienced Software Engineer at VMware, a Cloud Infrastructure company in Silicon Valley. I founded TechBum.io intending to teach and mentor fellow Software Engineers. To share the knowledge I possess and the experience I have earned over the years.

What's in it for me?
-- While pursuing my Master's degree, I started working as a part-time Computer Science Tutor, helping undergrad computer science with course content, programming assignments, and projects. It was the most satisfying job I ever had. Now that I am in a better place, I want to offer a helping hand to whoever seeks help.

-- Being the least experienced person on the team, I have learned a lot from others that have contributed to my personal and professional growth. I'm willing to pay it forward helping others grow in their tech career.

-- I've been interviewing software engineers and it is eye-opening to be on the other side of the table. This has helped me reflect better on the most common mistakes one can make and I might have an insider perspective to share.

-- Communication skills play a huge role in career growth. A polished software engineer is not only good at writing code but communicates well too. It takes practice to explain and present complex ideas in a simplified manner. No matter the medium: verbal or written. While writing will help me reach a larger audience, I want to get better at it.

-- Build an identity outside work. As the majority of the workforce moves toward remote working, especially after the COVID-19 situation, networking won't be as easy as striking a break room conversation while brewing your coffee. I want to utilize this blog to build a thriving community of like-minded people growing their careers in Tech.
