The first spark
A laptop and a Java tutorial
Borrowed my dad's work laptop, ended up on YouTube, and somehow wrote my first hello world instead of watching Minecraft all morning.
Read the origin storythe long
way here.
I didn't really plan any of this. One thing led to another, and I went from watching Java tutorials on an old laptop to spending far too much time on CTFs, security research, and other random projects.
Side quests
A few new rabbit holes
Built my first PC, started messing around with Android development, and found a very long ethical hacking video.
Finding my people
Finding people who liked the same stuff
Got into cybersecurity properly, became a ZeroToMastery Star Mentor, and found my way into GDLS.
Down the rabbit hole
CTFs started getting serious
Played HackTheBox Cyber Apocalypse with a team and kept coming back for more challenges.
Making my own path
Making things of my own
Helped run OSCTF, left GDLS, and started BlitzHack. Turns out running things is very different from joining them.
Everything, all at once
Quite a lot happened
Board exams, BSides Mumbai, BlitzCTF, and a team that grew much bigger than I had imagined.
A different direction
Changing direction
BlitzHack took a step back. I started internships and spent more time on vulnerability research and writing about the parts in between.

Still figuring
it out.
School, security, things I haven't tried yet. I'll write about it when I get there.
