Projects I'm building and learning from

Hospital Patient Management System

A console-based C++ project built during my first semester to register, search and manage patient records using file handling. Made with a focus on writing clean and efficient code.

šŸ‘¤ About Me

More than just code

šŸ§  Technical Approach

I learn best by doing. I build things, break them, then figure out what went wrong. Most of what I know comes from trying stuff out and fixing my own mistakes. Docs and videos are helpful when needed, but I prefer getting my hands dirty. I usually build from scratch unless there's already a good wheel out there.

šŸ”¬ Interests

I'm interested in how AI and machine learning can help solve real world problems. I'm especially curious about how they can support education, healthcare, accessibility and research. I also find the intersection of biology and computing really fascinating, even if I'm not actively exploring it right now.

šŸ± When I'm Not Coding

Iā€™m an introvert but open to collaborating or helping others. I love cats, sci-fi and comic book movies especially Batman. I play games, listen to a lot of rock and drink way too much chai. Sometimes I pick up bugs or frogs just because I'm curious. Also I use Arch by the way. Yeah I'm one of those.

šŸ’” Philosophy

I believe simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. I care more about solving real problems than adding fluff. Good tools should be easy to use and get out of your way. Iā€™m a big fan of open source because it brings people together to build and share useful things. I hope to contribute more as I grow.

šŸ“¬ Get in Touch

Got an idea, stuck on something or just want to talk tech? Iā€™m open to chatting, helping out or hearing what you're building šŸ¤
