Some History
  • In 2016, when I was in 4th grade and 10 years old, my parents bought me a laptop. I was ecstatic about it! I quickly learned how to control the cursor and type with ease using MS-Paint and Notepad.

  • At 11, I began playing Microsoft's mini-games like Chess, Minesweeper, and others, and learned MS-Logo. I created numerous objects and enjoyed experimenting with them.

  • At 12, I joined an activity on Photoshop and Animation using Adobe Flash-Macromedia. As I explored the computer in my school, I stumbled upon an HTML file and became intrigued. Curious about its purpose, I approached my teacher, Reshmi Miss, and asked about it. She kindly taught me some basics of HTML, sparking my interest in programming.

  • At 13, I built my own website using HTML exclusively and subsequently discovered other programming languages such as C++, Python, and JavaScript.

  • At 14, I created my own chatbot using Visual Basic and independently upgraded my computer from Windows 7 to Windows 10. I began learning Python and developed simple command-line applications, as well as GUI applications for Windows using Tkinter.

  • At 15, I transitioned to Linux and expanded my skills by learning CSS, JavaScript, GIT, and Flask. I published my website on PythonAnywhere, which unfortunately is currently unavailable. I completed numerous projects including a ChatBot named Clara and a Weather app, among others.

  • At 16, I acquired proficiency in Django and deployed my website on HEROKU. Additionally, I developed a package called PYFLIT for FLASK users and learned some other languages like Go, R, CPP and Java.

  • At 17, I upgraded my setup with a MacBook Air M1, funded by my first freelancing project. This marked my entry into the Apple ecosystem, replacing an old Ubuntu laptop. I optimized my website by deploying it on AWS, and expanded my skills with React.js, Next.js, Tailwind, and TypeScript, adding versatility to my web development expertise.

  • At 18 (present), I'm navigating towards new horizons in my journey. Aiming to secure a job, I'm strategically honing my skills and exploring opportunities. Embracing growth, I continue to leverage my expertise while maintaining a forward-looking approach. The focus this year revolves around professional development, aligning with my goal of advancing in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
