Opened a terminal for the first time in my engineering college. Typed 'ls'. Saw files appear. Felt like a hacker. Installed Ubuntu on a USB drive and broke my bootloader the same week. Fixed it. That's when I knew.
Wrote my first Python script — a calculator that only worked for positive numbers. Spent 3 hours debugging an indentation error. Learned C next because the syllabus said so. Wrote 200 lines to do what Python did in 10. Gained respect for abstraction.
Built my first Flask API. Connected it to MySQL. Deployed it on a free-tier Heroku instance. It crashed during the demo. Learned about environment variables the hard way. Also discovered Git after accidentally deleting a project folder.
Discovered AWS. Spun up my first EC2 instance. Forgot to set billing alerts. Got a $47 bill for a t2.micro I left running for a month. Expensive lesson, but now I architect infrastructure for a living. Worth it.
3 AM. Hostel room. 'Why won't this container start?' — spent 4 hours staring at Docker logs. Missing ENV variable. One line. Four hours. I've never forgotten to check .env files since. Also discovered Docker Compose and never looked back.
Wrote my first GitHub Actions workflow. Pushed to main. Watched the green checkmarks appear. Automated what used to take 20 minutes of manual deployment. Started terraforming infrastructure instead of clicking through consoles.
Learning Kubernetes. Breaking clusters daily. Studying for certifications. Building this portfolio at 2 AM. The grind doesn't stop — it just gets more interesting. Every error message is a lesson I haven't learned yet.
CKA certified. Full-stack cloud architect. Contributing to infrastructure that serves millions. The blueprint is drawn — now it's about execution.
/// TECH_STACK_MODULE

Multi-cloud infrastructure design and deployment across major providers.
CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure automation.
REST APIs, relational databases, and cloud-hosted backend services.
Cross-platform mobile applications with native performance.
Multi-paradigm programming and automation scripting.
Development environments and collaboration platforms.
Network protocols, encryption, and access management.
Linux distributions and system administration.
R&D pipeline. Unstable builds and experimental technologies.
Competitive programming profile tracker that aggregates stats from LeetCode, Codeforces, and HackerEarth into a single dashboard. Features real-time rating tracking, progress visualization, and heatmaps.
This site. A neo-brutalist portfolio built with Astro, GSAP, and raw CSS. Features an interactive terminal, boot sequence preloader, custom crosshair cursor, and enough hard shadows to cast shade on every generic portfolio out there.
Collection of AWS infrastructure experiments — VPC designs, EC2 auto-scaling groups, S3 static hosting, Lambda functions, and Terraform IaC templates. My personal cloud playground.
