My story

The day I was born, the very forests of Lordaeron whispered the name...

Wait, wrong story!

While my birth was not heralded by ancient powers-that-be, I personally consider it a life-changing event nonetheless.

It was the year 1994, when I was christened "Pritesh" by the family. I grew up in a small town during the formative years of my life devoted to video games - my "first" insistence, I got a library card - and fell in love a second time. This time with words. Well, it was more pictures than words initially (looking at you Phantom & Mandrake), but before long I was gobbling up Jeffrey Archer's and Dan Brown's masterpieces. Finally, my friends dragged me to a new swimming pool club that had recently opened where I formed my final love of childhood days - swimming.

In the year 2010, I moved to the city for higher studies. Here, I got my first taste of things that would define my life for the coming decade - Anime, Light Novels, and Programming! (Of course, excluding the usual "firsts" of college days.) While the former two were quite understandable, I won't lie about programming - I was downright flummoxed by it at first. Only at first though. As I learned more about the inner workings and outer effects, I was understanding a problem - dissecting it just so, then wrestling to fit it into a paradigm, finally getting to a solution with no more errors. And boy oh boy, when things work just the way you wanted them? I still feel that exhilaration of a smoothly executed code-run just as much as I did back when I printed my first ever "Hello, World!"

The year 2016, fresh There I worked in Innovations across varied (and often large-scale) projects. Later on, I joined an IoT startup, HPS Lab Designs. I started as a back-end Nodejs developer, swiftly moving on to front-end React development as well. Eventually, I found my way into React-Native platform, and thus my professional moniker: Full Stack Web and Mobile App Developer, which succinctly covers the core of what I do.

That was back in 2021. Going through a couple of years of pandemic brought forth old dreams of me to wonder what was holding me back. I realized I had gotten comfortable in my spot. And thus, after a tumultuous year of ups and downs, I managed to leave for Canada in the fall of 2022. I decided to formally start learning Mobile App Development, so got enrolled at Fanshawe for a degree in the same.
