Samarth Srivastava
Hey there! 
Welcome to my Portfolio! 😀
Warm Greetings! I am a skilled Software Engineer with a primary focus on iOS Development , however, I possess a comprehensive understanding of Web Development as well, as evidenced by the design and implementation of this very website. I was privileged to receive a Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science and Engineering, which I earned in the year 2022. I am a seasoned practitioner of Data Structures and Algorithms, and have served as a mentor to over 1600 working professionals, primarily Software Development Engineers (SDE-1s and SDE-2s), by teaching them and imparting my knowledge of data structures and algorithms, thereby assisting them in securing placements at their desired companies at Scaler Academy.
I am a firm believer in the principle that success is the result of smart, persistent effort. It is my conviction that hard work, properly executed, is the key to success. In this pursuit, I have adopted the maxim, "The locus of success is defined by the equation of hard work."
This brief description serves as a mere introduction to my background and capabilities. I invite you to peruse further information on my profile to gain deeper insight. I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for taking the time to visit my portfolio and for gracing it with your attention. I warmly welcome you to this platform 🙏.

MHRD: Online Challenge SAMADHAAN
Ideation and Proof of Concept: The abstract of the idea basically caters to the theme of "Saving Lives". The idea is basically a fusion of a process and software technologies to facilitate its fruitful functionality.
The idea aims at helping the highly possible and prone second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic which may arise nationwide whilst uplifting the lockdown, during the later stages.
(Update: This was back when we were in the COVID first wave phase.)

MHRD: IIC Innovation Contest
Formed a team which goes by the name "FlowDash" and participated in the innovation contest of MHRD IIC. We cleared the first round and the POC (Proof of Concept) round too. Post that were required to devise the "prototype" of our product, which unluckily was non feasible back then as we all were freshly placed at remote locations owing to the advent of rising COVID-19 conditions in India and the phase of lockdown. Nonetheless, it was a really awesome experience to compete with folks on a national level.
A bad day indeed!#Covid_19 shattered our efforts, & placed our team folks in different cities!

Working remotely is way cumbersome, and the time limit to devise the #prototype of our #ideas was way too less.@mhrd_innovation @HRDMinistry , too close, yet too far! #100DaysOfCode pic.twitter.com/1JAb6Cg2nf
