IEEE AICSSCE 2019
This was one of the main conferences of the IEEE Society in India. This is where I first came across tools like Elastic search, and Kubernetes, and had hands-on experience in drone building and more. I made several new friends who are still close to me today. It was also amazing to see how IEEE worked as a team during the 2018 Kerala floods.
