/about — the long, unedited version

i’m dev. 20.
i write code, break code,
and occasionally touch grass.

a cs undergrad, a self-taught developer, a brother, a friend, and an occasional philosopher when i’m staring at my ceiling at 2 am wondering if useEffect counts as a lifestyle.

/how-it-started

the origin story

my programming journey started in 11th grade with c++. i had zero idea what i was doing. i just liked that the computer listened. it was the first thing in my life that did.

a year later, i found web dev. logic + design + instant feedback? unreal combo. i was cooked.

today, i mostly work with typescript, react, next.js, and node. i also flirt with python, kotlin, dart, and enough c++ to sound smart in interviews.

/timeline

a suspicious timeline

1
2020
first line of code

11th grade. c++. i printed "hello world" and felt like a wizard.

2
2021
discovered the web

html/css/js hit different. instant feedback = instant addiction.

3
2022
react era

components. hooks. redux (briefly). tailwind (permanently).

4
2024
the ai arc begins

started building with LLMs. never looked back. kept my job (from myself).

5
2026
shipping mode

freshers unite. i’m out here trying to build the thing that lets me quit interviewing.

/outside-dev

outside the terminal

when i’m not coding, i sometimes touch grass — usually via football. other times i’m on the terrace, listening to soft music, watching clouds, pretending i’m in a coming-of-age movie.

i also game (apex, still learning), and yes, i overthink. it’s practically a hobby now.

  • i drink cold coffee even in winter. this is a personality.
  • lo-fi, city pop, and one very specific frank ocean song on loop.
  • apex legends enjoyer. bronze-coded confidence. gold-coded aim (sometimes).
  • i overthink professionally. it’s in my bio, my dms, and my prs.
  • i have more github repos than close friends. no notes.
/personality

if we're being honest

i don’t talk much online, but i genuinely like meeting new people — dev, music, or random late-night existential arcs. hit me up. i’ll respond when my introvert battery recharges, which is any moment between now and next week.

// patch note v2026.08
+ added: ai fluency, taste, patience for design reviews
+ removed: fear of shipping, sleeping schedule
~ tweaked: ego (buffed), tolerance for bad ui (nerfed)
