Who am I? Let me introduce myself...
I’m Kartikeya. 20 y/o. Final year https://t.co/mQ3zjojdeG from Hyderabad.
Got into a tier 3 college. My dad dropped me in Ameerpet, the “Silicon Valley of Hyd”.
I walked into every institute, trying to understand what the hell they actually teach.
Ended up joining a Python class filled with people who couldn’t land jobs or wanted to go abroad.
College started and
I started learning things. It felt easy.
Bought a Udemy course, did a 100 days challenge, and kept grinding every single day.
My first year was literally: college → friends → Python → repeat.
Built Python CLI tools and projects for fun.
Second year, I joined clubs. 3 of them. Left all 3 by the end.
But in the time I stayed, I gave everything — I learned managing and communicating, ran events, guided juniors, and met crazy smart people.
Then came hackathons. Solo and team.
Won most of them. (Rn the winning ratio is 62%)
One hackathon introduced me to Flutter. I got obsessed.
Within a month, I landed an onsite internship at a product-based startup… built their entire app in 3 months… then quit.
Joined multiple early-stage startups helping build their MVPs and pitch their products (I am good at presenting).
Burned out. Cooled off.
Then started learning full-stack.
Joined a SaaS agency onsite. Pay was mid, work wasn’t.
Became a team lead. Shipped full apps in 2 weeks.
Burned out again.
That’s when I found indie development.
Started building my first SaaS — @QuickvalidAI.
Published in 2 months.
Got 150+ users and 3 paid customers in the first month.
Now I’m working at another SaaS agency as an Associate Software Engineer,
while building my second big indie product: Agenix.
Just getting my shit together...
i made a game where you literally have to find Waldo in a giant crowd
the catch is you’re actually walking around inside the crowd in first person, and everyone is moving
