My Web Development journey began when I was in 11th grade and learned HTML, CSS, and frontend JavaScript. This sparked my interest in web development, and I started experimenting with building my own websites.

As I gained more experience, I began to explore the backend of web development and learned PHP. I used this knowledge to create dynamic sites that could interact with databases and change their content based on user input.

However, as I continued to learn and grow as a developer, I realized that PHP was not the best fit for my goals. So, I decided to switch to Node.js, which offered a more modern and flexible approach to backend development.

As I became more familiar with Node.js, I began to learn about the MERN stack and the benefits of using React for frontend development. I spent some time learning React and building projects with it, and I quickly saw the value of this powerful JavaScript library.

Recently, I have been focusing on improving the search engine optimization (SEO) of my websites, and I have learned about the benefits of using Next.js for this purpose. I have been using Next.js to build websites that are optimized for SEO and deliver a seamless user experience.

As a coding enthusiast with a passion for data, I decided to pursue a career in data science in 2021. I enrolled in a bachelor's degree program at Mithibai College. I have to make daily commute from Kalyan to Vile Parle via local train to attend my classes.

However, I quickly realized that the college curriculum was not keeping pace with the latest trends and technologies in the industry. So, I took matters into my own hands and started learning on my own. I focused on strengthening my basic statistics skills, covering topics such as probability, statistical inference, and hypothesis testing.

In addition to my studies, I also learned about the mathematics that is fundamental to data science, including linear algebra, calculus, and discrete math. As I learned these concepts, I applied them to a variety of projects, including an email spam classifier, a sentiment analysis tool, and an anime recommendation system.

Overall, my journey in data science and as a web developer has been one of continuous learning and growth. I am excited to bring my coding skills and data-driven approach to new challenges and continue exploring new technologies and techniques.
