I caught fire coding.I always thought my dream was to fly an airplane, or be a proof-reader for a little indie company, or pursue history. I did gravitate towards it for a bit. But I kind of just felt meh. I yearned to lean more, yearned to learn something different. Growing up, I would dismantle every toy/game/gadget at sight in an attempt to understand how and why they work the way they do and rebuild to full functionality. Just like everything in life, I succeeded at some and lost others. My broken toys were not enough to stop me, rather, I approached my next "experiment" with lessons from the failed ones to ensure success. I would attribute my greatest wins to my extremely inquisitive nature which enables me to understand what exists and opportunities to reinvent and recreate.And that's when it happened; the spark I was missing ignited the instant I clicked play on my first Python tutorial video. (I mean seriously, how could it not be great when it's named after Monty Python's Flying Circus?) Since then, I can't get enough. Web development called to all my passions; it incorporated creativity and problem solving and I'm allowed to break it to improve the code (in a separate Git branch, of course).I love applying responsive design principles and watching my web pages shrink into mobile screens and still look amazing. It is oddly satisfying. I think in a way I'm kind of like those web pages; I'm mouldable but I still keep my creative flare intact.Currently, I am a final-year student at VIT Vellore, pursuing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Engineering. My specialties include quickly learning new skills and programming languages. As a cyber-security enthusiast and web developer, I am proficient in developing web applications using React and Bootstrap for the front-end, and Python (Flask) for server applications, along with SQL and NoSQL for the backend. I have also actively participated in Capture The Flag (CTF) competitions, specializing in web exploitation, forensic analysis, and reverse engineering. I am passionate about the ever-evolving field of cybersecurity and continuously seek opportunities to expand my knowledge and skills. I'm still enthusiastically grabbing onto any other programming languages, frameworks, or principles I can integrate into the coding web in my head. What I may lack in skills, I make up for with my determination to learn.Outside of tech, I am a trained musician and have a deep love for music. I also enjoy reading books.
