5 years of exploring and figuring things out. A year of staying curious through the grind. And then — actually building. Still learning, and loving every bit of it.

Discovered the Internet's Secret
Opened a YouTube tutorial out of pure curiosity. Typed my first <h1> and watched it show up in the browser. That small moment pulled me in completely. Spent weeks just playing around with HTML and CSS, making things look different and breaking them along the way.

Poking Around with JavaScript & School Team
Started messing with JavaScript — small stuff like a quiz app, a basic calculator, changing colours on button clicks. Lots of bugs, lots of Googling, lots of "why isn't this working." By 2023, started working on small projects with my school team for fests and events. Built basic websites together and learned from each other. Not big things — but real ones, made with real people.

JEE & the Year Code Took a Backseat
2024 was JEE prep season — physics, chemistry, maths, mock tests, and barely any sleep. Code had to wait. But even in between study sessions, I'd occasionally pull up a tutorial or read about something new, just to keep the curiosity alive. Didn't build much. Didn't have the time. But I never fully switched off either.

Git, React & Real Projects
This is where things clicked. Started using Git and GitHub properly — commits, branches, pull requests, the whole flow. Picked up React for real, tried backend basics with Node.js, and started shipping projects end-to-end. Still figuring a lot out, but the pace feels real now. Every week I know something I didn't the week before. This is where the journey stands today — and the best stuff is still ahead.
