Went somewhat okayish I guess? The vacations went quite well though. Participated in the Codedex Summer Hackathon 2024 and our submission became the most liked hack (check out retrorings). Played a lot with deep learning stuffs, perceptrons, transformers, neural networks, matrix cacluclus and it was hella awesome. Participated in the Hackathon with Lewis and built there-is-no-website, the results are yet to be announced. Redesigning my portfolio website with next.js, react, releasing soon.

Nothin' much, dealt with the semester third somehow. Literally became a "senpai" lmao. Ok summing up, during vacations wasted some time, had realizations and things. Doing stuffs related to React/NextJS w/ TypeScript. And now, i use arch btw. Gonna be ricing it now. Fourth sem up ahead, let's see how it goes. And also yes, I'm not really generous but thank you very muchh 🫂 { to whoever it meant, hopefully they know :) }.

The second semester is over and so do the semester break. The semester's been pretty rough, successfully organized the college's Tech Fest "Agni 2023" just before the commencement of exams. It went somewhat good as usual. The exams got finally over as well. Worked on React/NextJS stuffs. Also read a tonnes of webtoons lol, also a few light novels. Did my stuffs with training and testing Voice AI models (RVC) and it's really fun. Welp, it's time for the third semester and my second year. Sadge.

Finally, the semester-ending exams of the first sem were over, I was damn relaxed, but f***, there were no vacations. Still, took a few days of holidays as a token of appreciation for myself lmao. The second semester started, and it was, or I should say, it is better. Really good things happened recently, hoping for a bright future ahead. Being better at everything day-by-day 🙂

The JEE results were out. I took admission in Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Institute of Technology, Tanakpur and started pursuing B.Tech in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. The first semester was pretty hectic and boring af. All those crappy subjects due to common syllabus of all branches. That time was legit waste to me. But yeah, you gotta shake hands with situation. New place, right back at where I started.

At this point, my 12th grade was finally over despite of all those hardships (not really, I enjoyed a lot). I passed my Intermediate (Grade 12) with 93% in PCM and a full 100 in Computer Science from Kendriya Vidyalaya, Haldwani Cantt. While the marks dropped as compared to 10th, but I was happy enough. I developed epic stuffs in the meantime and contributed a lot to open source and enhanced my skills. Everything was good, then I stopped everything and started preparing for JEE.

I had always been fascinated by tech and stuffs. As I took admission in my 11th Grade, the COVID-19 pandemic started and legit thanks to it, the schools got closed and I got free time brrrrr... That was the peak of my programming, I enhanced my skills and learnt many tech stacks and languages and got in touch with many great tools and things over the web. Not to mention, I started watching animes and stuff, listening to music, and started programming in a productive way. And, that was the start.

I passed my High School (Grade 10) with 97% marks and a full 100 in Information Technology from Police Modern School, Police Line, Haridwar. At this point, I really was happy enough with my life and the programming was going well, but I wasn't really doing anything much productive.

Back when I was in my 8th grade, I used to play a game called as "BombSquad". The game logic and game files were written in Python and it was fun modding them to change the behaviour of the game. I started learning Python and my programming journey was started. Hosted many game servers along with my friend and we definitely had the fun. And till date, "BombSquad" is an important part of my life 😂

I probably started using computers back when I was in 2nd grade. Obviously used paint, played games, etc. Had my first introduction to logic building with Scratch in 3rd, Logo in 4th, QBasic in 5th, Java in 6th, HTML in 7th and so on. It was all basics, that comes without saying.
