My Journey 🚀

I learned to code at 17 – late by today’s standards. This sparked a passion for lifelong learning. I taught myself through platforms like edX, Udacity, and Coursera (when they were just starting!).
After failing 12th grade, I bounced back by diving into internships, self-taught skills, and exploring the tech world. Bangalore became my second home, where I soaked up knowledge, collected swag, and ate a lot of free pizza at tech meetups.

I’ve held various roles – some successful, others not so much. But every experience shaped my path. I even taught for a semester in South Africa while pursuing my Master’s degree.

Things I Love 💡

Here’s a list of things that keep me inspired:

• Hobbies: Yoga, Reading, AI Art, Astronomy, Public Speaking
• Activities: Traveling (solo & with friends), Mentoring, Volunteering
• Passions: Teaching, Content Creation, Gift-Giving, Cycling
• Interests: Human Behavior, Economics, Cricket, Rafting

Random Fun Facts 🎉

• I change accents based on where I am.
• I’m terrible at cooking but love gifting food to others.
• I was once scared to take my first flight – now I’m a serial conference traveler.
• I have stopped sugar completely for 30 days.
