I realised I never shared my full story on X, so here it goes:

> was born in a small village in India
> homeschooled until 6th grade
> graduated high school at age 12
> wanted to be a doctor but couldn't get college admission (min age was 17)
> spent a year trying to get an exception but failed
> pivoted to computer science, got into NIT at age 14
> fell in love with building and problem-solving
> graduated college at age 18
> got into Amazon as a software engineer at age 19
> I was settled atleast as my family said
> but nothing felt settling about it, my heart wanted more..

Full story beautifully covered by @madeitdesi :

i'm really loving the girlification of tech, not everything has to be boring and sleek, and its going against the idea that engineering is a hypermasculine field
