Gary Lou, Community organiser

Siddhesh Shivdikar, Senior Software Engineer Android

I'm Siddhesh (Sid), a Senior Software Engineer specialising in Mobile App Development, based in Sydney. My mantra is to merge my love for technology with my desire to make a positive impact on the community. I completed my master's in Information Technology from UNSW.

With over five years of experience in developing mobile apps, I've aligned myself with opportunities that bolster my transformation journey. I helped Agarwal Cars Transport create a PWA to automate payments, invoices, data collection, and delivery status tracking for clients like OLA, Uber, and Cars 24. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I helped an organization establish their e-commerce platform via Flutter for mobile and React for the web. Additionally, I supported Ampol in their transformation from a fuel-based company to an energy-based company, leveraging EV-Charging and HomeEnergy solutions.

My journey continues as I strive to create the same impact through hackathons. I won the SIH Smart India Hackathon by developing an Android Backdoor app to track and navigate criminals. I also developed a POC to stop the spread of misinformation during the Massachusetts Institute of Technology COVID-19 Hackathon.

I devote my time to giving back to the community and empowering others by volunteering as a co-organiser at GDG Sydney. I share knowledge and organise monthly meetups alongside my fellow organisers. Please feel free to reach out if you want to be part of the community or are willing to empower the community by presenting your knowledge.
