My story so far...

It was a dark and cloudy day in 2017, I had just graduated from IST. All my friends were either doing internships or were enrolling in MS programs. I was doing...nothing. A few months passed and I was beginning to get slightly hopeless until I saw a job posting for a GIS Intern at a local company. I applied, got the job and for the next 2 years spent my days digitizing maps while my friends worked on stuff like Docker, Kibana and honed in their programming skills. I was going nowhere, so I had to do something. Then one day, I got a DM on LinkedIn. That was my way in to the wonderful world of web development. It wasn't easy at first as I didn't know anything. But I kept at it and before I knew it I was building features in Rails. Ever since then I have jumped into various frameworks from Django to Next JS, created lambdas in AWS, spun up EC 2 instances, written DB queries, backend endpoints and even created QGIS plugins.

Today, I am a GIS Fullstack Developer with a passion for creating web applications with a spatial twist. I love learning new technologies and am always looking for new challenges. My story still continues as I take on more challenges, learn new things and grow as a developer.

Stay Tuned, There is a lot more to come !
