 Reflecting on his GSoC experience, Ashmit emphasizes the steep learning curve and the importance of proactive engagement. He recalls, “Initially, I was overwhelmed by the scale of the project, but the community was incredibly supportive. I learned how to navigate large codebases, improve my problem-solving skills, and contribute in a structured manner.” This phase allowed him to grasp not only the technical aspects of the project but also the collaborative spirit of open-source communities.

 ## The Project: Revamping the AsyncAPI Conference Website

 ***Ashmit:** The primary goal of my project was to make maintaining the conference website easier. Previously, every year, the website had to be rebuilt or heavily refactored due to a lack of a consistent theme or streamlined process. This created a significant workload for maintainers. My project aimed to standardize the codebase, making it easier to update and maintain. Additionally, I introduced automated testing to simplify reviewing contributions, ensuring that new changes wouldn’t break existing functionality.*
 
 ## Challenges and Learning Experiences
 
 **Bami: What was the most challenging part of your project, and how did you overcome it?**
 
-***Ashmit:** The most unexpected challenge occurred towards the end of the program when my project wouldn’t build just before the final submission deadline. After deliberation, we decided to merge the pull request and troubleshoot the issue later. Unfortunately, this caused the website to crash temporarily. My mentors and I worked intensively for a few hours to restore functionality. It was a stressful moment, but it reinforced the importance of testing and careful deployment.*

 **Bami: Did you face any unexpected challenges or surprises during the program?**
 
-***Ashmit:** Apart from the final submission issue, everything went smoothly. However, the most unexpected challenge was adapting to remote collaboration. Before GSoC, I wasn’t very experienced with remote work. The program helped me develop skills in asynchronous communication and project management, which are crucial in open source and professional environments.*

 **Bami: Has this experience changed your perception of open source? Was this your first time contributing?**
 
-***Ashmit:** No, this wasn’t my first open-source experience. I previously participated in Hacktoberfest 2021 when they still gave out T-shirts! However, being a GSoC mentee and later a maintainer was a completely different experience. As a mentee, you focus on individual contributions, whereas a maintainer oversees multiple contributions and ensures the stability of the project. It gave me a deeper appreciation of the responsibilities maintainers handle.*
