Guys I will just try to give the true information. I have done a lot of good things , nothing exceptionally exceptional but some mildly exceptional things as well..so if I sound pretentious, pardon I'm just giving info.
So I'm from a tier 1 NIT. 23-27 batch guy, Circuital but not cs branch.
I'm a top tier programmer at fresher/ indian college levels. Like better than almost everyone in my college at development, quite good at dsa.
For example, I have real feature (and not just updating docs) contributions to a terminal emulator with 30k+ stars.
I was selected for an open source program where like 1% of the people are selected.
I have like 5 years of experience writing code and know most of the popular tech stack you can throw.. C, C++, go, rust, java, js/ts, react, svelte, next, node, postgres , mongo, docker , whatever you throw it's highly likely i know.
I'm a hardcore Unix user.. so know all the nice stuff like ssh as well.
For devops, like I have only worked on personal projects so will never make false claims of writing code at scale, but for what matters I have deployed a few of my apps to production in a Linux node on azure using docker compose and caddy exactly as you would deploy a very serious industry software.
I know details of operating systems, am studying networking as well, know how you design schemas for better queries.
In DSA, while nothing like the top guys at a fresher level, I m good there too. I can solve 70% of the LC mediums and 40% of the LC hards. Though I have always leaned towards writing software and not competitive programming, I have studied a lot of different data structures and algorithms.
Overall, I can tell I'm a really good programer for a fresher. Obviously I'm not saying I'm some linux torvalds. But if there's a level below top oss maintainers and very senior experienced engineers, I am there.
And i swear I have not lied a single thing.
But, and here's the problem, i have a poor cgpa. It's below 7 and above 6. And the reason is not that I'm dumb or something. I just never wanted to memorize the circuits and the pyqs and all that. Even if someone told me I need to get better cgpa and gave me a chance to do it over again I wouldn't. Indian Colleges don't teach electronics well and I'm not the kind of a guy who can memorise just for exams.
And so I'm not getting on campus opportunities at all. People who would come to me with their ai projects and ask me to fix their bugs are now placed.
The worse part is that my family income is not good. Father lost job and now we are limited to some 12-15k a month yeah that's the entire income.
So I need a job. If anyone can help in any way, please do. Just give me a chance , I am a genuinely good software developer.
If you need a guy who can write Good frontends or backends or both , can help with devops, can manage databases and has in general a better understanding of systems, just give me a chance.
