Unhappiness sows the seed of excellence.

introduction

Hey there! I'm Aditya Pandey — a final-year student at Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai, proudly representing the land of great food and even greater chaos: Uttar Pradesh.

I'm a software engineering enthusiast who loves getting my hands dirty with code — whether it's untangling the spaghetti of complex backend systems or making full-stack projects look cooler than they probably are. From crafting user interfaces that (hopefully) don't crash to exploring the dark arts of operating systems, networking, and databases, I enjoy both the magic and the madness of building tech.

Most of my work so far has been in full-stack development, but these days you'll find me geeking out over what happens behind the scenes — like how packets travel across the internet or how databases throw tantrums under pressure.

In short: I break stuff, learn things, fix stuff, and repeat — all in the name of building cool, real-world solutions.

education

I did my Class 10th in 2019 from the ICSE board at Spring Dale College, Lucknow — where the syllabus was intense, the exams were terrifying, and somehow, I survived. Stuck around for Class 12th too (same board, same school, same city) and wrapped that up in 2021.

Then came the legendary gap year — the year I decided to conquer JEE. Long story short: JEE won. So in 2022, I joined Vellore Institute of Technology Chennai to pursue Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) — because what's life without a little suffering, right?

While ECE kept throwing complex signals, circuits, and confusion my way, I found solace in learning software and CS concepts on the side. Full-stack development, backend systems, databases — all of it felt like home amidst the chaos of transistors and transmission lines.

Now I'm in my final year (don't ask how, even I'm confused), and the journey's been wild, messy, and honestly, kinda awesome. No idea where the road leads next — but hey, I've got code, caffeine, and curiosity. Let's see what happens!

other than tech?

To be honest, if you take tech out of the equation, I'm probably the human equivalent of a blank loading screen. And even with tech, I'm not exactly the life of the party — unless that party involves debugging or arguing with a compiler at 2 AM.

Outside of coding, my idea of fun is listening to music. And when I say diverse, I mean chaotically diverse — I can go from vibing to Tailwinder's cinematic intensity to headbanging with Skrillex in under five minutes. My playlists are like my thoughts: unpredictable, slightly messy, but strangely comforting.

Lately, I've also dipped my toes into the world of competitive coding — because clearly, battling electronics wasn't stressful enough, I had to add timed brain puzzles into the mix. It's intense, occasionally humbling, but oddly addictive.

Most of the time, you'll find me in my natural habitat — solitude — doing deep, philosophical thinking about things like "What truly matters in life?" or "Did I seriously miss that semicolon again?"

That's pretty much me — part-time tech nerd, full-time overthinker, and occasional DJ of emotional soundtracks, now featuring bonus competitive coding rage.
