My first LEGO F1 builds
· milestone · my desk
A LEGO fan since I was a kid, but it was always too expensive. Built the McLaren and Ferrari with what was left after the MacBook. Slow to build, pure joy.

Bought my dream MacBook
· milestone · my desk
Paid for with freelance and internship money: all-nighters, missed classes and all. My first proper work setup, and a proud one.
Handing opencode to our juniors
· milestone · Rourkela
After a year of leading it, we passed the club on. Easily the most talented team we've had in years.
First drink, first SDE job
· milestone · Rourkela
Landed my first SDE role at a startup. Worked like crazy, but proud of every bit of it. Cheers to the start, and the pain.
Led a national-level hackathon
· hackathon · Rourkela
From taking part to running one, with my fellow bakchods. Months of prep and stress for three days. Could have been better, but it taught me a lot about this community. Respect to every hackathon organiser.
H4B 2025, our first offline hackathon
· hackathon · West Bengal
Summer vacation with the club's bakchod gang. The train ran 12 hours late thanks to the weather. Worth every hour.
My first public session, on web3
· talk · YouTube live
Streamed live for opencode: a whole series from web3 basics to how it all actually works. Good old ETH days.
Ran hack-inno, our first hackathon
· hackathon · Rourkela
Second year, leading the team behind our first intra-college hackathon. Registration desks by day, all-night majdoori by night. It worked.
First SIH, three ideas, one all-nighter
· hackathon · Rourkela
Changed our idea three times overnight in the BM/BT complex. Didn't get selected. Still one hell of a night.
Joined opencode, my first tech club
· milestone · Rourkela
First year, first tech club, first bakchod friends. What a time. Where the whole tech journey started.
