HELLO VISITOR! I AM YASH ARYAN AND I AM A DEVELOPER LIVING IN INDIA AND THIS IS MY SPACE ON THE INTERNET
About me
Here’s my story about why and how I am, what I am!
2000s
I have had a love for cars for as long as I remember. I have always been crazy about Sports and Muscle cars. I am a classic Top Gear and The Grand Tour fan. I used to sketch vehicles as a teenager in my free time and was (still is) a big fan of shows like Top Gear and The Grand Tour. This interest made me choose my major as Automotive Engineering at Manipal Institute of Technology in 2018.
2017
I was sixteen when I first got interested in coding after I took a course on the C++ programming langauge in high school. Although I got interested in coding a bit late, my passion for computers have always been prevalent, but untouched. I was around ten when I first got my hands on a computer, a really old one, and since then, my experiments with computers have been endless.I was sixteen when I first got interested in coding after taking a course on the C++ programming language in high school. Although I got interested in coding a bit late, my passion for computers has always been prevalent but untouched. I was around ten when I first got my hands on a computer, an ancient one, and since then, my experiments with computers have been endless.
2018
In my junior year at the university, I got my wings, ready to explore uncharted waters. I joined many student clubs, left a lot within weeks of joining, made many friends, and somehow got interested in developing for the web. This is where my passion for cars declined. I got interested in making websites and other web-related programs, and that’s how I joined the tech universe.
2019
I took up my first project, where my task was to assist in making a website for scheduling doctor appointments. This interested me in WebDev, which led me to take on many more projects. As I got drawn more into Web Development, I started looking for what was going on. I discovered that JavaScript was the complete solution for WebDev with NodeJS and ReactJS in the picture. I started learning NodeJS, which took me considerable time because of my inexperience in backend development.
2020
I got duped into free work, laugh at me or pity me; I don't care. I started learning ReactJS to make it easier to create complex WebApps. The covid was my biggest helpline. I had so much time on my hand that I kept learning more and more. I looked into server-side rendering and static site generation. I kept gulping libraries after libraries, using them in multiple projects. I was progressing faster in learning and finishing projects. The more I learned, the more confident I felt about myself.
2021
I started a test server at my university for under-development projects by converting an old CPU and installing Ubuntu Server on it. I did numerous rounds at the IT department to acquire a static public IP address. This was the first time I learned about static IPs and how a system on the internet can be accessed by anyone and anywhere through a static IP. I got more curious. I started learning about port forwarding, proxies and reverse proxies, DNS, VPNs, and various ports other than 80 and 443. I learned how to install certificates for a website and deploy websites. During the summer break, I took up an internship at nonceblox Private Limited, my first official experience as a Web developer. This company was working on blockchain, and I was already exploring blockchain because of an upcoming project at my university. I earned for the first time, and I was doing it all while learning. I worked with Web3, and it got me fascinated. I started an all-out invasion of the blockchain resources. Meanwhile, I had to learn TypeScript and Git while doing my internship to keep up with various libraries like GatsbyJS and NestJS.
Skills
I am a self-taught person. From learning to drive a car on my own to making fullstack web-apps, I have taught myself everything by observing others doing it, with occasional guidance from an experienced person. Youtube, Coursera, Udemy, EdX, Linkedin Learning, Stackoverflow and Reddit have been my greatest teachers and I believe in an open-learning world.
