(Not) Your average engineer next door
My story is that of an average guy. Brought up in a small city, I was a shy, introverted who was decent at studies. One thing that caught me early was curiosity. It has been my driving force ever since. I was fascinated by science and maths during my school days. I remember, back in school I came to know about "unsolved mathematics problems". I used to think how hard maths can be, picked up some random problem, and wasted hours trying to move forward (poor, silly me).I also spent a lot of time reading books (mostly Encyclopedias) all my childhood. As I grew up, I started developing many more inclinations: watching soccer/football, playing soccer/football (still pretty bad at it though), messing around with physics, playing with dogs, cycling, traveling to unknown places, and many more.
Once I moved to university, I heard about this term called coding. I did get into it initially but only in the third year did I seriously 'find out' programming and that is when I fell in love with it. This was my first coming-of-age experience with something so fascinating and so vast. I tried and played with multiple languages in college.
I then worked with a healthcare-based startup. I experimented with different technologies there, learned a lot, and became the 'Jack of all trades'. With every new thing I learned, I discovered 10X awesome things that I didn't know about. As Einstein once said, "The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know". I eventually decided to move to DevRev because I believe this is the place where I can grow manifold. Can't wait to work with amazing people to build something magnificent.
