About me

Hey, I’m Aafiya 👋 I’m a Software Eng, AI/tech enthusiast, and content creator passionate about helping students navigate placements, internships, and tech careers with clarity. Over the past few years, I’ve: ✨ Participated in and won 10+ hackathons ✨ Cracked interviews at Amazon, ION Group, Fampay, and Tata Elxsi ✨ Built AI/ML and real-world tech projects ✨ Published research papers in emerging tech domains ✨ Solved 500+ DSA problems ✨ Maintained a 9+ CGPA while balancing internships, mentoring, and content creation ✨ Built a strong LinkedIn & Instagram presence by sharing job opportunities, interview experiences, placement strategies, and career insights But beyond achievements, what truly matters to me is helping students avoid the trial-and-error phase I went through. I know how stressful placements, resume building, interview prep, DSA, and choosing the right career path can feel — especially when there’s too much advice online and no clear direction. Through Topmate, I want to create a space where students can: 💡 Get honest placement and internship guidance 💡 Improve resumes, LinkedIn, and overall profiles 💡 Build strong interview and DSA preparation strategies 💡 Explore AI, tech domains, and project ideas aligned with career goals 💡 Gain confidence in navigating jobs, hackathons, and career growth I don’t believe in generic advice. Everything I share comes from real interview experiences, mistakes, learnings, and strategies that genuinely helped me grow. If you’re trying to break into tech, crack better opportunities, or simply gain clarity in your journey, I’d love to help you move forward.
