8 years ago I installed my first standalone GitLab server for my development team. Since then I've actively used the product. In July 2021, while reading the docs I saw a possible improvement, instead of ignore it I decided to post an MR. Since then I started actively contributing to the GitLab documentation and handbook. I also started contributing on the code and implemented some improvements into the codebase and UI. Then I contributed to the Spanish translation and now I'm a Spanish proofreader. I participated in a few hackathons where I won one of the first places. All because I love the product, the philosophy of the company, its values and the community that has been built around it. I hope I can keep doing it even more.

improvements into the codebase.
I started contributing to GitLab in March of 2022, couldn't stop from there and August of the same year I joined the GitLab Heroes.
The reason I joined was to improve the time tracking features offered by GitLab, but I ended up contributing
to various other areas of the product.

I have been using GitLab for 3 years and I started my GitLab journey from a GitLab challenge on twitter. I won some goodies and meanwhile came to know how to use GitLab. Currently I am organizing GitLab Meetup Bangladesh and organizing various events.
Stumbled upon a post on Twitter about GitLab Hackathons back in November 2022, participated by making some documentation
fixes and became a regular contributor and joined Gitlab Heroes in the subsequent year.
I wrote a few articles on GitLab, especially on GitLab CI! I use and recommend GitLab every day, because for me, it is the best tool so far for creating applications or deploying infrastructure!
I am an enthusiastic contributor to Open Source software and discovered GitLab development through a Hackathon.
By contributing to GitLab, I am not only refining my workflows but also gaining a unique opportunity to enhance my coding skills.
I hope that my contributions are helpful to many others as well.
