From BCA to MCA: learning in public

I'll keep this honest: I'm early in my software journey. I finished my BCA in 2023 and I'm currently pursuing an MCA. Before and alongside studying, I worked in customer and chat support — roles that taught me patience, clear communication, and how to stay calm when things break.

Why I'm building this

Support work is people-work; software is problem-work. I like both, but I want to build. So instead of waiting until I feel "ready," I'm learning in public — shipping small things, breaking them, and fixing them.

What I'm focusing on

  • Fundamentals: data structures, databases, and how the web actually works
  • Building real projects (this site is one of them) instead of only tutorials
  • Getting comfortable with the full loop: write, test, deploy, observe
The goal isn't to pretend I'm a senior engineer. It's to show steady, visible progress.

What's next

More projects, more writing, and turning what I learn in my MCA into things you can actually click. If you're hiring for junior roles or internships — or just want to compare notes — my email's on the contact page.
