is that enough? probably not. but who cares? let me tell you more.
22 yo, recent grad, broke af, self-taught dev who somehow made it work.
not much honestly. love touch typing (weird flex), go-karting when i can afford it, and building pcs with parts i probably can't afford.
tech stack: typescript, c++, python — but here's the real story of how it all went down.
2018: started with python as a side thing. played around, got bored, moved on. classic developer move, right?
2019: web dev happened. html, css, js — the usual suspects. got hooked because you could actually see stuff work instantly. pretty addictive ngl.
2020: this year was absolutely wild. discovered node.js and suddenly everything clicked. built some discord bots that didn't completely suck, scraped the web like crazy, automated random stuff. also picked up android dev because why not learn everything at once?
2020 winter: got accepted into IIITM Gwalior.
then had one of those classic developer mood swings and went back to web stuff. mid-2021, meantime built my first android app — InternTracker. basically helped students (including myself) track job applications without completely losing their minds.
first real gig was at Vyorius, this drone startup. got to mess around with mapbox and chart.js. learned that making things look good is just as important as making them work. who knew?
autumn 2020, joined Bipolar Factory and dove into cloud stuff. built their website, threw it on gcp, made a node.js backend for forms and analytics. also played with opencv for some real-time image processing on project aivis.
coolest project? android app that tracked network speeds for the Election Commission of India during the 2022 uttar pradesh elections. yeah, that actually happened. still can't believe it sometimes.
2023: spent most of the year at Dooldir, helping the weaving industry in south india get their tech game up. built a dashboard to track weavers and machines, plus an android app for managing shifts and maintenance. deployed across 4 factories on linux boxes. pretty cool seeing traditional industries embrace tech.
that summer, built my first home server (named it "batmobile" because why not). fell down the networking rabbit hole — dns, reverse proxies, docker, the whole shebang. best way to learn is breaking your own stuff, trust me.
2024: summer was spent with Startwatch Technologies. built vehicle tracking for andhra pradesh prohibition department. also got into nvr/dvr systems and onvif devices, made everything record to gcp instead of relying on tiny local storage.
autumn 2024: joined Flagright, this yc fintech startup. currently here building compliance stuff that doesn't make people cry.
problem solving when things break (which is often). taking risks that sometimes pay off. building stuff and occasionally marketing it without cringing too hard.
if you need someone to build, grow, or market your product, or maybe looking for a co-founder who won't bail after two weeks? dms are open. let's chat about it.
all views are mine and don't reflect any organization i'm part of. following or liking my stuff doesn't mean i endorse everything you do. i'm not a certified advisor in anything really. just use social media for fun and sharing random thoughts.
not really, unless it's something absolutely extraordinary (and it's not always about the money) that could change my perspective.
linkedin and github. that's pretty much it for now. keeping it simple.
thanks for reading this far. seriously.
