My thought' It was decent, just want to do better. Onto 2026 :)

Had the pleasure of speaking at Sinhgad's Smt. Kashibai Navale College of Engineering, Pune last week!

I was invited as a speaker by the SKN IEEE Student Branch as part of their TECHXPLORE, 3-Day Tech Webinar Series 2025, where I conducted a session on Cloud Computing.

Super grateful to Parth Ghogare and the team for the warm welcome. The students were incredibly curious, engaged, and full of energy, exactly the kind of environment that makes teaching fun :)

We covered:
• Cloud fundamentals
• Why cloud matters for beginners in tech
• A live walkthrough of hosting a website using AWS services [Hands-on]

Always happy to contribute to student communities and help more learners get started with cloud :)
