i started with:
- python (internshala)
- c
- c
- dsa
- php
- java/jsp/servlet/applet
- codeignter
- c#/.net (just little)
- angular
- react
- Despite learning all this, I received only a ₹12k internship offer and a ₹3 LPA service-based job (barely involved in coding)
- Towards the end of the final semester, I joined a company offering ₹27k. Initially thought I was off to a good start, but they turned out to be fraudulent—1.5 months unpaid, followed by 1 month and 15 days of work, then nothing (had meetings and calls with the founder, but eventually stopped working)
- Faced some setbacks and had to restart.
- restart
- Revisited DSA and practiced ~210 questions on LeetCode
- Learned the MERN stack
- Gave an interview at Cyntexa—cleared two technical rounds and one HR round (onsite). Waited a month for a response. They didn’t reply via WhatsApp or email. When I called, they just said: “We’ll contact you when we have a vacancy”
- Felt stuck again—fell into tutorial hell. Didn't build many projects or interact with any community
- Came across Harkirat’s videos and joined Cohort 3
- now start thinking real-world projects
- Adopted a developer mindset: learn and implement
- Joined as a full-time React Native intern (founder is a chill guy).
- learn react native while doing vibe code
- Started learning Solana and Rust and anchor
- Joined the Q2 Builder Cohort
- Still grinding and moving forward.
i started with:

- discovered solana
- learned rust
