AI Summary

Hello everyone! 👋

I'm excited to join the GDG on Campus at Bahria University, Lahore Campus, and I’m really looking forward to being part of this vibrant and supportive community. I’m originally from Sargodha, and it's great to see how this platform brings together passionate individuals from diverse backgrounds.

A little about me: I’m a MERN Stack Developer with a strong interest in Generative AI. I’m always eager to learn, collaborate, and contribute to meaningful tech discussions and projects.

As someone new to this chapter, I’d love to hear your thoughts on a few things:

🔹 Understanding Roles

What kind of roles can members take on within this community?
I’m curious to explore how I can actively contribute — whether through tech sessions, collaborative projects, or content creation.

🔹 Mentorship Opportunities

Is mentorship available within the community?
I’d really appreciate guidance in areas like AI integration with web development, and I’m also happy to share what I know with others.

🔹 Event Participation

Do you all prefer in-person or virtual events, and why?
Personally, I enjoy both formats — but I’m especially interested in hands-on events, hackathons, and anything involving AI or full-stack development.

I’m really looking forward to connecting with everyone, learning together, and growing through shared experiences. Let’s build something amazing together!

Welcome to GDG on Campus - Bahria University, Lahore Campus. We’re thrilled to have you here! 🙌

It's always exciting to see passionate developers like yourself, especially with your background in MERN and interest in Generative AI, that’s a powerful combo.

Understanding Roles: Our community thrives on contribution! Members can get involved in several ways:

Tech Speakers – Host sessions or workshops on what you love (like Gen AI or MERN).
Content Creators – Write blogs, make short videos, or recap events.
Organizers & Coordinators – Help manage events, logistics, or outreach.
Project Collaborators – Join or start community-based projects or mini-hackathons.

Mentorship Opportunities: We encourage both peer-to-peer mentorship and knowledge-sharing circles. If you're looking for guidance in AI + web development and to share your own skills with members who are learning MERN or web dev basics, it is absolutely a two-way street.

Event Participation: We've had a mix of virtual and in-person events. Most members love the hands-on vibe of in-person sessions, especially for hackathons, workshops, and AI labs, but virtual events help us stay connected across schedules and locations.

Thanks for introducing yourself so thoughtfully. We're super excited to collaborate and create meaningful experiences together.

Regards,
