The map is useless unless you walk it yourself.

I build systems. I break logic.

I write what others skip.

Everyone writes about the popular computer science stuff. Not me. I just write what I study, usually the overlooked corners where simple ideas somehow hide a ridiculous amount of logic.

I'm Nishant Gaurav
an Aspiring Software Engineer

I am a third-year Computer Science student at LNCT Bhopal with a strong interest in building software and understanding how systems operate at a fundamental level. I have solved over 300 DSA problems and work with C, C++, and Python, which has helped me develop a solid foundation in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and core programming concepts. My current focus is on Frontend Development, where I build responsive and user-friendly interfaces using HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (Vanilla), and Bootstrap, along with hands-on experience in working with REST APIs.

In addition, I have explored data analysis using tools such as NumPy and Pandas, and possess a strong academic understanding of Operating Systems, DBMS, and Computer Networks. I also work with SQL, MySQL, and MongoDB for database management and use Git and GitHub for version control and collaboration. Beyond academics, I serve as a Microsoft Learn Student Ambassador, where I actively contribute to the developer community by organizing technical events and supporting peer learning.
