Title: From Curiosity to Code: My Journey Through Tech and What Keeps Me Going

In a world where technology changes faster than the weather, staying curious is no longer just a trait — it's a necessity. For someone like me, who didn’t start with a formal computer science degree but carved a path through sheer passion, persistence, and projects, tech isn’t just a career — it’s a calling.

I began my journey in tech from a Bachelor’s in Computer Applications, driven not by textbooks but by a hunger to build. What started as simple web pages turned into full-stack applications, from a pathfinding visualizer in C++ to a complete YouTube clone using the MERN stack. Each project wasn’t just about learning syntax or deploying to GitHub — it was about solving a real problem, creating something useful, and proving to myself that I could.

But let’s be honest: it hasn’t always been smooth. There were moments of self-doubt, especially during interviews when I struggled with confidence. Speaking clearly, staying calm — these are skills as important as writing efficient code. I learned to pause, breathe, and prepare, just as I would before debugging a tricky bug. Slowly, I started building not just better apps but a stronger version of myself.

My goals are big — and intentionally so. I don’t just want to be a developer. I aspire to be a Product Engineer, someone who doesn’t just ship features but deeply understands the user. I’m passionate about EdTech, media platforms, and automation tools — anything that blends creativity with code. I dream of building tools that help people learn faster, live easier, and create more.

Tech is powerful like that. It gives you the ability to turn imagination into something interactive, to automate what’s boring, to teach what’s hard, and to connect people beyond geography. And the best part? You don’t need to be a genius to start — you just need to be consistent, curious, and willing to experiment.

I believe in side projects. I believe in building even before you feel ready. That’s how I got into SaaS ideas like converting YouTube lectures into blog posts using Whisper AI. That’s how I discovered tools like Appwrite and Zustand that make building complex apps feel like magic. Every line of code is a step forward.

For anyone reading this: if you’ve ever felt like you're behind, like you need another degree, more experience, or more clarity — take a breath. Start where you are. Keep learning, keep building, and most importantly, stay passionate. Because in tech, passion beats perfection. Every time.

And me? I’m just getting started. With the goal of someday retiring with ₹80 crore and the freedom to teach, build, and live creatively, I know this journey is more than worth it.
