02 / ABOUT ME

I started with hardware.
Then I discovered software.

I'm currently in the final year of my B.Tech in Electrical Engineering at Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT) Jalandhar.

Electrical engineering introduced me to something I still love today — understanding how different parts of a system work together.

But while studying electrical engineering, I became increasingly curious about the other side of the equation: software.

I started programming, building projects, exploring machine learning and AI, and eventually found myself spending more and more time creating things with code.

PROGRESSION

MY JOURNEY

How electrical systems thinking evolved into code, intelligence, and product engineering.

01
PHASE 01·

Electrical Engineering

Learned systems, circuits, and how different components work together.

02
PHASE 02·

Curiosity

Started exploring programming and building things on my own.

03
PHASE 03·

Software

Dived into backend, web, databases and real-world applications.

04
PHASE 04·

AI & ML

Explored machine learning, AI and intelligent systems.

05
PHASE 05·

Hardware + Software

Connecting both worlds to build useful and interesting things.

I didn't choose between hardware and software.
I started connecting them.

Electrical Engineering gave me systems thinking. Software gave me another way to build those systems.

Core Philosophy

Building as an act of learning

I like building things because I enjoy the journey from 'What if?' to 'It actually works.'

The Recursive Builder Loop

What if? → Question → Break Problem Down → Learn Unknown → Build → Break → Debug → Fix → Test → Make It Work

Every system built begins with a question, survives through debugging, and yields lasting engineering intuition.

THE COMMON THREAD

I like making things.

Sometimes it's code.

Sometimes it's a circuit.

Sometimes it's an AI model.

Sometimes it's all of them together.

And sometimes...

I just want to see what happens.

Hardware gives me something to touch.

Software gives me something to build.

I like working where the two meet.
