I AM A
wannabePOLYMATH
That brings trouble in focus, excessive juggling, a Notes app full of things to try, a blog full of drafts, and a GitHub full of unfinished projects. But I’m doing fine, I guess. I like learning a little about a lot of things, getting curious about something new every other week, and occasionally turning that curiosity into something real. It’s messy, but I think I’d rather have too many things to explore than run out of them.
Polymath
/ˈpɒl.i.mæθ/ (noun)
A person of wide knowledge or learning whose expertise spans a significant number of different subject areas.

Why Should We Choose You?
And alot of other similar questions have been asked to me quite a few times, so I decided to curate an FAQ section to answer them, here are some of the questions most commonly asked to me (and their answers).
WITH THESE PROJECTS!
I have around 35 major projects created and deployed across many domains and use-cases, some hackathon-winning, and some even had customers! I have a goal to make atleast 100 meaningful projects before I graduate!

I am currently onto a lot of things
A lot of things are to be released soon, follow my journey on X to know more, or schedule a call with me to discuss about something you have in mind. I would love to connect and discuss with you!
