Here's a quick intro about me and what I love to do

First Year: Stepping In
My undergrad journey in Computer Science and Engineering began with a bang! I was elected Class Representative, which meant I got to know everyone and help shape our class experience. Even more exciting, I landed my very first web development project—my introduction to the world of real-world coding.


Second & Third Year: Exploring New Horizons
The next two years were all about exploration. I dove into the stock market, picked up graphic designing, and even tried my hand at video editing—all while keeping up with my core studies. These years taught me how to balance learning with curiosity and creativity.


Fourth Year: Gearing Up for the Future
My final year of undergrad was a time to focus. I doubled down on my studies and secured an internship, getting a taste of the professional world and putting my skills to the test.

Masters Degree: Leveling Up
During my Masters, I worked as a Teaching Assistant—helping others learn while deepening my own understanding. I also took on a part-time job as an IU catering server, which taught me a lot about teamwork and time management. These years were all about growth, both academically and personally.
