About
I'm Sumit, a Computer Science Engineer from NIT-Allahabad, which basically means I survived four years of deadlines, chai-fueled coding nights, and the occasional existential crisis.
I grew up in Ghatotand, Parej, Ramgarh, where most of my time was split between my grandfather's stories and Holy Cross School's homework. Then I spent 2012–2019 in Nepal, adding yet another uniform to my collection before finally ending up in NIT-A India for college. At this point, I've switched schools so often I could probably start a loyalty program.
These days I spend my time messing with shiny new tech, which I decide to waste my sleep schedule on.
Outside code, I indulge in a chain of watching anime, series, and movies. In short: code keeps me busy, anime and series keep me sane, and sarcasm makes sure I don't take any of it too seriously. Could I *be* any more clear?
