About Me
Hi, I’m Roshan, a student pursuing Electronics engineering from Aligarh Muslim University, India. I’m excited about working on web-based projects, anywhere from creating web APIs to playing with images.
I’m a Heartfulness practitioner, figuring my way out to learn how to meditate effectively.
In my free time, I browse about industrial tech. Most of my time goes in looking for someone on StackOverflow I can help.
Stuff I do
I work in Python, however, plan to switch to JavaScript for the web in near future; owing to it’s industrial approach in getting things done.
(EDIT): I’m working in Nuxt.js!
I’ve done things from application backend development, to creating APIs for my personal projects, and creating responsive UIs from scratch using media queries.
I attempted Google Summer of Code 2019, but couldn’t make it up to there.
I, along with my college folks, had the privilege to code as the team “Narcodes”, which finished as first runner up in the Smart India Hackathon 2019 (software edition) held in Guwahati, India.
I also got selected as a web developer in the SSGSA Non-Profit Organisation.
Projects
One of my first projects was an attempt to develop a Quora-like platform to discuss meditation-based Q/A, which is hosted right here.
Another one (currently under active development) is BlogState. This one basically allows users to blog right after creating an account, like they do on social media. If you happen to be a coder, make sure to take a crack at it.
Besides, there are other not-so-big projects that I do just to commit mistakes, in order to get a solid understanding of the underlying concepts.
Please check my work here.
Plans for the future
I’m a self-taught programmer, which has it’s own pros and cons. However, I wish to share the intuition I’ve made about some programming concepts that I think beginners would have a hard time getting a grasp on. Looking forward to writing about it on this blog someday :)
I’m growing interest in hardware programming and robotics, which made me order an Arduino Uno the very next day I read about it.
I’m fascinated by the recent buildup in machine learning, and deep learning. I started working my way through, until I got the feeling that ML/DL is definitely over rated. I am thus, continuing my pursuit of making applications for the web.
Set a meeting up!
I’d be glad if you offer me a coffee, and discuss ideas about code, zombies, and whatnot (I’m a big Resident Evil fan).
Better, if you’ve got this crazy idea no one wants to hear about, you might wanna give me a try.
