MyStory
From the cricket fields of Bihar to building scalable web architectures — a journey of curiosity, grit, and a lot of semicolon errors.
(Spoiler: I still Google "how to center a div")

Scroll down to walk through time.
The Beginning
Growing up in Banka, Bihar, my world revolved around cricket matches and online games. Technology was a mystery. I had no technical background, no programmer relatives. Just a restless curiosity about how things worked behind the screen.
📝"My only debugging skill was restarting the computer and praying 😅"
Hello World
Enrolled in BCA at TNB College. Typed printf("Hello World"); and hit compile. When those words appeared, I felt like a hacker. I had no idea what a compiler was or why semicolons mattered. But something clicked.
📝"Spent 45 minutes fixing a missing semicolon. Thought the PC was broken 😭"
Me trying to understand what printf even does 😅
The Confusion Phase
Trudged through C, C++, and Java without passion. Completed assignments like a robot — copy, compile, submit. The concepts felt disconnected. Pointers? Inheritance? I memorized definitions but understood nothing.
📝"I thought 'Java' was related to coffee until embarrassingly late ☕"
The Turning Point
Stumbled upon web development. Wrote HTML, added CSS, hit refresh — and watched something come alive. It was visual. It was magic. Programming finally felt less like homework and more like creating.
📝"Centered a div on my first try. Peaked that day. Downhill since 😂"
JS Love
JavaScript opened a universe. The web became an interactive canvas where I could paint with logic. Built projects, stayed up till dawn debugging, and celebrated small victories like a working API call.
📝"'undefined is not a function' became my catchphrase 🧠"
MERN Era
Dove headfirst into MongoDB, Express, React, Node. Immersed myself in full-stack. Built, broke, and rebuilt REST APIs and auth systems. Each failure taught me more than any tutorial.
📝"First API returned the same data regardless of the request 🤷♂️"
Welcome to Prod
Joined SparrowHost as a frontend dev. A paradigm shift — real codebases, code reviews, actual users depending on my code. Worked extensively with Next.js. The imposter syndrome was real, but so was the growth.
📝"First bug: pushed to main on a Friday. Learned that lesson the hard way 💀"
Where I Am Now
Building scalable backend systems at CodeDecoders with Node.js, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and TypeScript. Discovered that great software is about solving real problems elegantly. The kid from Banka is building the digital future.
📝"I still Google 'how to center a div'. We all do 😏"
The story is
still compiling...
Let's write the next chapter together.
