My mentors and my guides became my lifeboat when I needed them, and I am here to return the favor to someone else in need. <\/em><\/p>\n

I am Ayush Tripathi, from Allahabad, currently working at LinkedIn. Thanks to my familial support, I had always been a deserving student, especially my father, a self-made man and strived to provide us with the best of all avenues. <\/p>\n

He always told us that education was the window to the world and placed extreme emphasis on working hard. This thought was what I was brought up with, and I believe this thought has made me the person I am. <\/p>\n

As for my academic inclination, I was a natural at computers and math. When I got my computer, it felt like I had the entire world to explore at my fingertips. So when the time came to choose my graduation branch, it seemed like a no-brainer that I should opt for IT or Computer Sciences.<\/em> <\/p>\n

I cleared the engineering entrance exams and secured a seat in the much-coveted IIIT-Hyderabad. Stepping into college was stepping into a different world altogether – where I had a chance to meet and interact with people from several different walks of life. <\/p>\n

College was competitive and extremely demanding, but I got way sided with the abundance of available distractions and saw an expected drop in my academics. My intellect helped me sail through those years, and I managed to get by with help from my peers and seniors. <\/p>\n

It was at that time that I heard of competitive coding. I researched and read about some legendary names in competitive coding, and rest as they became history. I was hooked. I really wanted to explore this world of coding and master all the requisite skills. \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

As a LinkedIn developer, my work profile is exceptionally flexible, and I delve into a diverse range of projects. This profile provides me with the requisite experience and spirit required for mentoring.<\/p>\n

My association with Scaler has been an extremely fruitful one. I used to practice on InterviewBit in my college days. Considering I had always associated a significant part of my success to my mentors when the academy approached me with this opportunity of being able to mentor young coding enthusiasts, I couldn\u2019t say no. I was delighted that they believed me to be capable of providing this guidance. I think this mentorship has helped me as well and in ways more than one. I have learned tremendously and have grown to become a better professional.<\/h2>\n
