I saw an ISRO launch live when I was 6. The years after that went into exploring my father's computer.
In 9th standard, our computer instructor showed us Python basics. Everyone printed Hello World. I tried the Fibonacci series. The computer did not agree with my ideas.
I changed something. Ran it again. Changed something else. Ran it again. Eventually: 0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8.
In 11th I switched schools just to take Information Practices and learn Python properly. Eight schools in total, so picking up a new environment fast is a habit by now.
Today I build integrations and APIs at Deloitte USI, and I keep building with LLMs and PyTorch on the side. Outside work: chess every day (self taught from a rulebook and a Kasparov book) and Sudoku.

Hackathon to full time
Won the Deloitte x ServiceNow HackNow out of 260+ teams. The win became my Deloitte internship, and the internship became a full time role.

I build tools other developers use
My dependency analysis script runs daily for 20+ developers across 50+ integrations and saves about 4 to 5 hours per integration.
E2E
Design doc to UAT, not just code
Design docs, Architecture Review Board, build, Postman testing, UAT and KT. I own the whole path, and I took over 8 integrations from other developers along the way.

Schools growing up
New places, new people, new codebases. Getting up to speed fast is a habit by now.

Squares, self taught
Learned chess from a rulebook and a Kasparov book, became the best player in my school, and still play every day.
