I grew up in Sidhi, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, and studied engineering in Bhopal. In college I still didn't know what I wanted to do. I heard about freelancing, tried graphic design, and didn't enjoy it. Then I built my first website by following a tutorial, and that one stuck.
I got serious with the Zero To Mastery web developer course on Udemy and landed my first internship right after college. First I wanted pages to look exactly right, then I wanted them to load fast. Each fix led to the next problem, and before long I was working on APIs, databases, mobile apps, and the cloud bill too. People started to notice the work, and somewhere along the way I fell in love with it. I still learn something new every day, usually after work.
These days I'm a software engineer at Beyoung, where I look after the website, mobile app, backend, and cloud setup. I still build things on the side, and when I figure something out, I write it up.
