Journey

A timeline of my learning, projects, and milestones.

My Journey

A concise timeline of my journey into tech — self-taught, from a non-technical background, with no formal guidance to begin with.

The Beginning

  • Started out from a completely non-technical background — no CS degree, no mentor, no roadmap.
  • Learned everything from scratch through free online resources (mainly YouTube): frontend, backend, databases, deployment, and cloud.
  • Early on, the biggest struggle wasn't the coding itself — it was not knowing what to learn, or how much was "enough." No guidance meant a lot of trial and error.
  • Stuck with it anyway — consistency and hard work (and belief in myself) turned that self-taught foundation into something real.

Internships & Hackathons

  • Did internships and participated in hackathons to build real-world experience alongside self-learning.
  • Worked on projects including Meetzy, Sohwais, and SocialSphere.
  • Gained hands-on experience across the MERN stack, PostgreSQL with Prisma, GraphQL, and full deployment ownership.

Professional Experience

  • Worked at Infotech Agency and Websitoz, handling end-to-end development and deployment of custom CMS web applications.
  • Converted self-taught skills into a full-time role — without a technical degree.

Community & Organising

  • Organiser of a national-level hackathon at NIT Delhi.
  • Organised developer workshops with Microsoft, as part of a community team.

Today

  • Continuing to build, ship, and grow — proof that a non-technical start doesn't have to limit where you end up.
