I am Navya sri Kalli, from India and my username is "Kalli navya". I got involved with Wikimedia projects during my bachelor's, i.e., in 2017, when a wiki club VVIT WikiConnect was formed in our college. I started my journey by editing articles in English Wikipedia and uploading images in Commons by joining photo walks WLM_2017_India_Vijayawada_Photo-walk. As part of the club, we had several events in wikidata, Telugu Wikipedia, etc and that's how I got exposed to different sister projects of Wikipedia.
After graduating from college in 2020, I was not active until 2023 but after that, I was back into wiki with organizing events like WCI 2023, WWC 2023. By then, I gained professional experience as a Data Scientist and wanted to contribute technically apart from organizing events and doing outreach activities. So, I attended Technical training organized by the Indic MediaWiki Developers User Group and joined as a member of that UG. As a member of that group, I am organizing hackathons and contributing to technical projects and community requests. I am also working on improving the Onboarding experience of New-joiners and addressing the gender gap of women in wiki.
