First Commit : My Story, Raw and Real.

this is where my dev journey begins - no fluff, no facade

this isn’t a tutorial.
this isn’t a roadmap.
this is just where I started broke, behind, and still building anyway.

this is my first commit.

who am I?

I’m a CS student, still early in the journey.
I don’t come from noise, money, or shortcuts.
I travel long hours, work with what I have, and build in whatever pockets of time i get.

I don’t always have freedom, but I still move forward.
because building something of my own feels like the only kind of freedom that lasts.

I’m not here because I have it all figured out.
I’m here because I’m tired of waiting to feel “ready.”

why this blog?

because sometimes, it feels like everyone around me is ahead.
better machines. better mentors. better freedom.
I don’t have those. but I’ve got wifi, will, and a vision.

this blog is where I prove that you can start from the backbench,
bootstrap your way through limitations,
and still ship something real.

what I’ll share here

• devlogs, coding lessons, mini-projects

• mistakes I make (and what they teach me)

• tools I discover

• digital product experiments

• thoughts on navigating life, pressure, and purpose

• managing time (balancing academics, fitness, and building)

• “where to start” - for people just figuring it out

• notion templates I build, use, and share

I’m not trying to “go viral.”
I’m just trying to move.. consistently, honestly, visibly.

a note to whoever's reading this

if you’re broke, tired, lack support and still showing up
you’re not alone.

this blog is my proof of motion.
my learning in public.
my first brick.

this is my first commit.
