Apoya a Rajat Srivastav

Hey, I'm Rajat Srivastav 👋

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer, open-source contributor, and the creator of OSSGrid. I love building cloud-native systems, solving challenging engineering problems, and making open source more accessible to developers.

My work revolves around Go, Kubernetes, backend infrastructure, and the CNCF ecosystem. I've contributed 10+ merged pull requests across GSoC and LFX/CNCF ecosystem projects, including work with Kuadrant.

Through my own open-source journey, I noticed a frustrating problem: finding the right project can be harder than contributing to it.

Developers often have to navigate scattered GitHub repositories, CNCF mentoring resources, previous LFX mentorship terms, organization websites, and project documentation just to understand where to begin.

That's why I started building OSSGrid.

OSSGrid is a free, community-focused platform that brings GSoC and LFX mentorship organizations, projects, mentors, and accepted proposals into one place. My goal is to help developers discover projects that match their interests, understand the technologies involved, and prepare to make meaningful contributions.

I'm actively developing and maintaining OSSGrid while continuing my own work in open-source and cloud-native engineering.

Your support helps me keep OSSGrid free, cover infrastructure costs, maintain project data, improve the discovery experience, and build new features for the community.

If OSSGrid has helped you find a project, explore the CNCF ecosystem, or take your first step into open source, consider buying me a coffee. ☕

And if you can't, sharing OSSGrid, reporting issues, or contributing code means just as much.

Let's make open source easier to discover, one contribution at a time. 💚
