The journey
It all began with my interest in making games. I started playing around with Unity game engine and built small games. Right around 2013 i bought my first smart phone (Lumia 520) and started building games for the windows phone platform. Though i didn’t deploy any games to the store, all of them were for practice and fun projects.
Then one day i came across a Microsoft competition on building games for windows phone. I was excited and got on board, started creating a game. I created a game called Fruit Smash (Unfortunately not available now, since it was taken down during the a store cleanup). My submission crossed the first level of scrutiny and i was awarded a Windows 8.1 pro edition license and a free Life time Developer account for the windows store.
I got excited about the developer account and started building applications for the windows phone store. it was a good experience and the first time building any kind of application. Later while going through a facebook post i came across the Microsoft student partner competition and read through the requirements. It was simple, One functional and creative app published on any windows platform, which i already had ready. I applied to the competition and voila, after a month i was selected as a Microsoft student partner.
This wasn’t the fun part though. The fun part was the Student Summit
It was a great opportunity to meet young and senior developers and interact with them. Below you can find some pictures from the event.

We were split into groups before the event. A picture with my group at the event.
We also did a 15K marathon. Absolutely fantastic.
