Apr 2022 – Jan 2023 · 9 mos · Bengaluru, Karnataka

I dedicated myself to self-study and development to become a full stack developer. I took freely available online resources and worked on multiple personal projects to enhance my skills in web development technologies such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and various frameworks such as React, Express.js and Mongoose. I also gained experience in back-end development using languages such as Python, and Node.js, as well as databases like MySQL and MongoDB. This self-study period allowed me to gain a strong foundation in full-stack development and prepared me for new opportunities in the field.

Career break

Personal goal pursuit

Sep 2018 – Dec 2021 · 3 yrs 3 mos · Delhi

I took a 3-year career gap after completing my engineering degree to focus on preparing for the UPSC Civil Services Examination as the role fascinated me to my core. However, after clearing 3 consecutive preliminary Examination, and falling just a score of marks short for my interview call twice, I decided to take some calculated risks. During my time as a aspirant, I dedicated myself to gaining a deep understanding of the topics covered in the exam and honing my skills in areas such as writing, social studies and critical thinking. Even if I was not able to clear the list, but it did help me immensely in improving my all round personality, and become a Jack of All Trades. I got to interact with people from all walks of life, younger and older, and learned a lot from them. I learned some much needed skills for every professional like perseverance, patience, hard work, time management, resource management and pressure management. This period of intense focus and preparation has equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to excel in a career in public service and I am now eager to apply these to a professional role.
