On this week's episode of the podcast, freeCodeCamp founder Quincy Larson interviews Kamran Ahmed. He's a software engineer and founder of Roadmap.sh, which has skill tree roadmaps for lots of developer fields, such as DevOps. As a teacher, he's also a Google Developer Expert and a GitHub Star.

We talk about:

- Kamran's tips for finding the right open source projects to contribute to
- The story behind Roadmap.sh, his popular developer website
- Other specialized open source Kamran has built over the years
