🚀 Why I'm Writing This

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm a BTech CSE student (Class of 2026), and I'm officially starting my focused preparation for upcoming placements.

I've decided to learn in public — which means I’ll be sharing my learnings, resources, and progress regularly here on Hashnode.

This isn't just for tracking my growth — I hope it helps others who are on the same journey or just getting started.


💻 What I’ve Learned So Far (DSA Kickoff)

I've basic idea of every single topic below in bullets but recently started covering the basics of Data Structures and Algorithms (DSA) with in depth approach . Some key areas I've explored:

  • Arrays, Strings, Linked Lists

  • Recursion & Backtracking

  • HashMaps and Sets

  • Sliding Window & Two Pointer techniques

  • Graphs , Trees, DP

I'm solving problems on:

I’ll be sharing key patterns, problems, and insights I gain — both to solidify my understanding and to help others follow along.


🎯 What I’m Preparing For

  • DSA (for coding rounds & interviews)

  • DevOps Tools & Concepts (Docker, monitoring, infra basics and all the other tools for end to end deployment)

  • Full-Stack Projects (hands-on stuff to show on my resume)

  • AI (beginner level) — just getting started with the basics and foundations


🛠 Resources I Use

Here are some of my go-to resources for DSA (will keep adding more as I go):

  • Leetcode

  • Striver’s Sheet

  • Aditya Verma YT channel


🗓 What's Coming Next?

  • Weekly logs of what I learn & build

  • Breakdown of problems I solve + how I approach them

  • Resume building tips (as I apply them myself)

  • Help others with what I learn (feel free to connect!)


💬 Let’s Connect

If you're also preparing for placements or learning tech stuff, drop a comment or message — let’s grow together 🚀

Thanks for reading — and more coming soon!
