Hello, I'm Karan, a passionate full-stack engineer with 2+ years of experience. I enjoy problem solving and building softwares. My focus is Web Development.

About me

Intrigued by the potential of computers and captivated by their ability to address real-world challenges, my passion for software development ignited during my formative years. The allure of unraveling the intricacies of computer software, coupled with a budding interest in crafting animations and games, propelled me towards exploring programming and design tools like Adobe Flash, Blender3D, and Unity. As I delved deeper into the realms of algorithms, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other languages during my school years, the profound satisfaction of logical problem-solving beckoned me. This passion solidified my decision to pursue Computer Science for my Bachelor's at DA-IICT Gandhinagar, enabling me to dive into diverse sub-disciplines such as computer networks, programming, and database management. Furthering my academic journey with a Masters in Computer Science at IIT Madras, I delved deeply into various facets of the field, particularly immersing myself in the world of machine learning.

Commencing my professional odyssey at Cisco Systems, where I had the privilege of interning and later securing my first job, was a pivotal experience that propelled me into contributing to intricate software systems, setting the stage for my career in software engineering. My subsequent role at Leap Wallet affirmed my penchant for creating and owning products from inception, honing my expertise in JavaScript/TypeScript, React.js, Go, and Python. Engaging with cutting-edge technologies like Next.js, GraphQL, Docker/Kubernetes, and Blockchains further fueled my enthusiasm for crafting impactful solutions, each one aimed at simplifying users' lives—a sentiment that continues to drive my programming journey.

In my leisure moments, you'll find me reveling in the harmonious world of music, a source of perpetual inspiration. Traveling to new places, with each journey a tapestry of experiences and cultures, enriches my perspective and fuels my creativity. These endeavors complement my profound love for coding, providing a dynamic balance between technology and life's vibrant tapestry.

My interests extend beyond the realm of code, encompassing an insatiable curiosity for the latest technological advancements shaping our daily lives. The fusion of technology and culture fascinates me, prompting a continuous exploration of diverse histories and societal landscapes. I find solace in the immersive realms of SciFi, Fantasy, and Adventure genres, immersing myself in thought-provoking movies, books, and series that challenge and expand our notions of existence.

In the quest for perpetual growth, my spare moments are dedicated to mastering the language of the piano—a pursuit that mirrors my approach to life and learning. The melody of progress and the harmony of new knowledge fuel my desire to continually evolve and adapt, both as a software developer and an enthusiast for life's boundless discoveries.
