How a curious kid from a town of looms ended up writing software.
Age 8
My first computer
It had a search window with a little cartoon dog that sniffed around for files. I spent more time wondering how the dog knew where to look than actually searching.
Class 8
Games, then the network behind them
Counter-Strike and GTA came next. When I found out friends could play together over a home network, I learned how to wire one up and ran a small game server at home in Ichalkaranji. It was my first taste of keeping something running for other people.
Class 10
My first web pages
I made my first pages with HTML and CSS. Seeing something I'd written show up in a browser is still one of my favourite feelings.
2019 – 2023
College in Pune
I studied Information Technology at VIIT, Pune. The projects that broke, and had to be fixed, taught me the most.
2023
Joining Loop Health
I joined Loop Health, a Y Combinator-backed health-insurance startup, as an intern. My manager showed me that clear communication matters as much as good code. I still work by that.
2025
Software Engineer 2
Promoted to SDE-2. Startup work taught me to own a problem from start to finish: understand it, build the fix, ship it, and keep it running. Now more people rely on what I build.
Now
Learning AI
I'm learning where AI genuinely saves people time. One example already in use: our operations team records a short voice note, and the right form fills itself in.
