This is pretty interesting. So, I finished my final year of engineering and was waiting for my results (it usually takes 2-3 months). I thought why to waste this time and I started learning Android Studio. I had worked on a website in my final year project so I thought to make an app of the same project for fun.
I made it and don't know why I put the screen recording of the working app in my WhatsApp story. One friend knew someone who was starting a startup company and he shared the video. They called me for an interview and I got the job lol.

By the way, I got rejected in HR rounds of Wipro and Infosys (cleared the technical rounds). Hopefully, startups prefer coding skills more than communication skills.
