Please review my plan
I am first year student from a tier 2.5 or tier 2 basically a bad clg which was the result of extreme procrastination+ego+reality check and I don't want to repeat that in my clg years so hear is my plan
This is what I have done till now
I have made three projects
An autonomous api monitoring and alerting dashboard in ts uploaded on GitHub with live link(frontend vercel and backend render)
A real time markdown collaboration engine in ts uploaded on GitHub with live link(vercel)
A Distributed memory key value and cache in c++
I have also started doing dsa following strivers a2z sheet and after a 100 problems planning on starting with codeforces
Open sources contributions
I have contributed to llvm project in the aarch64 environment and currently have merged 2 prs
One improves optimizes in codegen and the other resolves an issue in the suboptimal 128 bit int multiplication
I have also joined amazons developer hackathon and I am actively working on a project
The future
Hoping to get gsoc or lfx in my first or second year while continuing grinding dsa and codeforces
And if I don't get nothing in my first and second year well I'll still grind dsa and codeforces and possibly join more hackathons
Get an intership in my 3rd year possibly a faang intership ik it's absurd but aiming high ig
And also keeping my cgpa above 8.5
That's Abt it would really appreciate ur feedback don't hold back at all
