Introduction
Hello, world! My name is Dhanush Prabakaran, a 20-year-old full stack developer from Uthangarai, Krishnagiri, Tamil Nadu. As I sit down to write this, I can’t help but reflect on how far I’ve come in just a few short years. This blog marks the beginning of a new chapter in my life—one that started with a passion for technology and has now blossomed into a journey full of learning, discovery, and ambition.
The Beginning of My Technical Journey
My journey into the world of web development began during my second semester in college. I was always curious about how websites worked, and this curiosity drove me to explore the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Initially, it was just a hobby, something I did to satisfy my curiosity. But as I delved deeper, I found myself genuinely captivated by the endless possibilities. Web development was no longer just a pastime—it became a passion that consumed my free time as I learned, experimented, and built projects that helped solidify my skills.
Education and Early Experience
I’m currently pursuing a B.Tech in Computer Science and Business Systems at KIT-Kalaignar Karunanidhi Institute of Technology, Coimbatore. My academic journey has been both challenging and rewarding, providing me with a solid foundation in computer science principles. With a CGPA of 8.01 up to my fifth semester, I feel grateful for the structure and discipline that formal education has provided in honing my skills.
During this time, I also had the opportunity to intern at a couple of companies that played a huge role in shaping my technical and professional abilities. At Cloud-PlusPlus, I got hands-on experience with AWS services, such as EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, and DynamoDB. This was an eye-opening experience that taught me the intricacies of cloud infrastructure and how to design and deploy cloud-based solutions.
I later interned at Chanakya, where I worked on a project developing a website feature for users to answer multiple-choice questions related to mental health. This experience not only improved my technical skills but also deepened my understanding of how technology can positively impact people’s lives.
Professional Milestones
Fast forward to today, and I’ve reached a point in my journey where I feel confident in my abilities and excited about the road ahead. My work with Next.js and the MERN stack has allowed me to push boundaries, try new techniques, and embrace the fast pace of web development. Each milestone represents not just a technical achievement, but a step forward in my understanding of what it takes to succeed in this field.
Looking Ahead
As I step into this new chapter, my enthusiasm for learning and innovation continues to grow. I'm particularly excited about exploring emerging fields such as Web3 and blockchain development. I’m constantly looking for new ways to stretch my abilities and push the boundaries of what’s possible in tech.
Through this blog, I aim to share not just my technical insights but also my personal experiences as I navigate the world of technology and development. I hope my journey can inspire others who share a similar passion or are just starting in the tech field.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. I’m thrilled to see where it will lead, and I’m excited to share each step with you!
