TL;DR - A passionate Software Engineer, and an equally passionate Teacher I am a Software Engineer. I got introduced to programming in Class 8 (by a senior) and found it really cool, so opted for Computer Science in Class 9. Till date, I always look back and thank my younger self for making this decision. I started my career as a Software Engineer in 2020 (yes, during the pandemic). Thinking of ways to solve business problems, having 100 tabs open, reading the documentation, weighing the pros and cons of multiple approaches towards solving the problem and choosing one of them, implementing the solution, and finally seeing the desired output - such an amazing feeling. I am also a Teacher. I got into teaching way before it was cool. I got a chance to teach a Class 9 kid while I was in college (it was in 2016). I thought to take it up, because why not (I actually took it up because I would be able to utilize my free time and also earn some money)! I never knew I would love teaching so much. It's been more than 7 years now, and I have never gone "Aaghhhh! Another class! I don't want to take it". Teaching has always been an absolute pleasure for me and I know I can do it for years to come. Since I am really really interested in both Software Engineering and Teaching, I decided to do both (again, because why not!). That's my story of becoming a Software Engineer and Teacher.
