In 2019, I completed my 10th grade and took my first step into the world of programming during 11th grade. Learning the basics of C programming sparked my interest in technology. Around the same time, my childhood inclination toward business began shaping into something real.

In my first year of college, I co-founded a startup called Stuverse with three friends. We sold study materials and built the website ourselves, diving deep into business and web development. Though the business eventually closed, it gave me hands-on experience in problem-solving, teamwork, and understanding technology's role in business.

By the middle of my second year, I realized many of my classmates were struggling with programming. Having built a strong foundation, especially in Python, I started coaching them. Teaching not only improved my skills but also reinforced my understanding of programming concepts.

While I enjoyed problem-solving, I felt something was missing. I’ve always had a knack for drawing and creativity, so I decided to explore tech fields where I could combine creativity and logic. That’s when I discovered UI/UX design. I immersed myself in learning through YouTube videos, Google’s UX courses on Coursera, and hands-on practice. The blend of design, user experience, and technology felt like the perfect fit for me.

To put my learning into practice, I completed an internship where I worked on real-world problems. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of user-centric design and the importance of solving problems with empathy and creativity.
