My journey started to find an answer to a question: "How does a computer understand what I am writing?" This curiosity led me to explore how compilers translate code into machine language and then start solving problems using C and C++. Later, I overcame the confusion of different tech stacks, the overwhelm of 'tutorial hell,' following the wrong roadmaps, and procrastination, transforming these challenges into strengths that have refined my skills. I developed analytical and critical thinking skills while doing competitive programming and working on academic and extracurricular activities, which will help me do things more efficiently. As a late bloomer, I learn the most when encounter bugs and try to solve them. I also enjoy learning new technologies and optimizing existing projects for better time or space complexity.
