My story.

I got into tech by building small apps and messing around with new ideas. There was lots of googling and breaking things until they somehow worked. That is how I fell into Computer Science and Engineering.

In my final year, I got an internship. After that, I got a full-time role and kept going. Still learning, still experimenting, still getting way too excited when something finally works.
