Utkarsh Tiwari, 25
Utkarsh Tiwari, also known as UT, grew up in a family of teachers. He’s used his skill as an educator to support people across the hacker community. Utkarsh is an active member of the Major League Hacking (MLH) community as a Pod Leader in the MLH Fellowship program and as an MLH Coach. Outside of MLH, he is involved in Lions Clubs International, Leo Club of Walkeshwar Achievers, Leo District 3231 A1 and Leo Multiple 3231. Utkarsh hails from Mumbai, India, and attended Newcastle University in the UK.
Utkarsh's journey into technology began with his study of electronics and telecommunication engineering at K J Somaiya Institute of Technology. Initially, he struggled with programming. Engineering was new to him and he was discouraged by feeling lost in a complex subject. Luckily, the process of building robots reengaged his passion for hacking and led him to discover a new interest in hardware. He went on to serve as CTO and later the chairperson of KJSIT-IETE, where he experimented with microcontrollers and various programming languages. Today, he shares this knowledge and experience with the entire hackathon community.
Utkarsh's first introduction to hackathons was at BackyardHacks 2020. He went on to join several other MLH hackathons, and enjoyed the experience so much that he was inspired to organize his own hackathon, Hackticks. He says, “Participating in hackathons has had a profound impact on my personal growth. I’ve become more confident and sociable, shedding my former stage fright and learning to communicate effectively with people from diverse backgrounds.”
Participating in hackathons has been a transformative experience for Utkarsh. He enjoys giving back to the community in his role as an MLH Coach and Pod Leader. He approaches teaching with a patient and supportive attitude, ensuring that coders have what they need to successfully build a project.
He says, “I believe that by fostering a culture of collaboration and mutual support, we can build a stronger and more resilient hacker community. I’m always eager to motivate and inspire others to work together, share their knowledge and skills, and grow both as individuals and as a team.” He brings a powerful combination of empathy, teaching ability, and knowledge to boost future hackers to their full potential.
