I am a Web3 builder with experience in React.js, Solidity, and Codeigniter-PHP. In September 2023, I got an opportunity to become an educator at "CodeCrunch TechSchool," where our aim is to make web3 education accessible and easy to understand to a wide developer community in India.

My most recent work in React.js involved creating Trustified, a platform for issuing tamper-proof, universally verifiable certificates and badges on the blockchain.

Here's how my journey unfolded:

My tech journey began in "Asambiya" a small village in Gujarat, India. After completing my 10th standard, I faced a crucial decision: commerce, science, or engineering. With advice from many, I found my interest in technology.

Following my school years, I pursued a Diploma in Computer Engineering. From my very first semester in 2021, I received guidance to prioritize communication skills and gain real-world experience through internships—essential lessons beyond the academic curriculum.

In 2021, I secured an internship opportunity at CodeCrunch Techlabs, focusing on web development.

Post-internship, I transitioned into a Frontend developer role, where I leveraged my React.js expertise to build frontends for decentralized applications (Web3).

In the Web3 realm, I gained experience with various protocols and DApps, including Chainlink, Valist, Push Protocol, and decentralized storage using Filecoin (IPFS, NFT Storage).

In the Web2 domain, I worked with React.js, the Codeigniter-PHP framework, Firebase, and OpenAI APIs, using them to create a news summary Chrome plugin using Python.

My most significant takeaway thus far is that with a learning mindset and a willingness to listen to mentors, you can seize opportunities and be in the right place at the right time. Thanks to proper mentoring, I began my programming journey at the age of 16, allowing me to accumulate 2.5 years of industry work experience while pursuing my bachelor's degree.

Beyond technology, I have a passion for reading books. Some of my favorite titles include "The Almanack of Naval Ravikant," "How to Win Friends and Influence People" by Dale Carnegie, and "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck" by Mark Manson.

I genuinely appreciate your time invested in reading my story.
