I grew up in a small village in southern Gujarat, India. I’ve loved computers since my dad got me an AMD Athlon 2 PC when I was 10 - back then it was all about gaming day and night.

Fast forward to 2014, I got my first taste of the internet and spent countless hours tinkering with Microsoft Office tools, doing random experiments here and there. In 2020, when I finally got my first laptop for my bachelor’s degree, things started getting serious. I dove headfirst into machine learning, Python, Java, C++ - basically anything that crossed my path.

In mid-2022, while pursuing my Master’s, I joined Genxel as an intern. That’s where I planted the seeds of my development career, learning from everyone around me and YouTube tutorials. Built an NFT Marketplace from scratch there, which was wild for a beginner.

Later, I moved to Coderthemes where I really leveled up. Learned TypeScript, Angular, Vue, design patterns, SOLID principles, and a bunch of Linux stuff. The most valuable lesson? “Devs can often resolve issues independently, by Googling and with a little bit of luck.” Also picked up tons of life lessons from my boss during weekend hangouts.

These days, I have 4+ years of experience under my belt. I’m building automation tools - some AI-powered, some not. I write code in VSCode with Copilot turned off because I don’t want to go dumb by relying on AI too much. That said, I do use AI chat platforms for debugging and getting input when I’m genuinely stuck. It’s about staying sharp while still leveraging the tools available.
