Piyush Sahoo

Founder of Apna Meet-Up

Hello! I'm Piyush Sahoo, a 3rd-year Computer Science Engineering student at PES, and the proud founder and entrepreneur behind Apna Meetup. Apna Meetup is a platform dedicated to conducting events, workshops, and hands-on sessions in colleges, aiming to bridge the gap between academics and real-world projects at no cost. This initiative is a testament to my passion for education and innovation, striving to provide students with the opportunities and skills they need to excel in the industry.

In addition to my entrepreneurial pursuits, I'm deeply involved in technology with a strong interest in web development, specializing in intricate data structures. As a committed web developer, I enjoy creating innovative online experiences and excel in solving complex challenges through logical reasoning, effective time management, and a calm demeanor, even under pressure.

Looking ahead, I'm eager to explore Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AIML) and Android development. I'm actively seeking mentors who can guide me in these areas and provide insights into the work culture. Mentorship, I believe, is crucial for gaining a genuine understanding of the industry.

I also leverage my SEO knowledge for optimizing online content. Outside the digital realm, I maintain a healthy lifestyle as a fitness enthusiast. Join me on this journey where I balance coding with creativity, striving for excellence in both the virtual and physical realms.
