hi i'm aditya.

i have one rule in life. never give up.

my dad got me a computer when i was really young. that sparked everything. at age 13 i got CEHv9 certified. it's a cert that teaches you how attackers think so you can defend. no one told me to get it. i just wanted to have that knowledge. i still use those security principles today. nothing wasted.

after school i joined a college. didn't like the crowd. didn't like the vibe. so i left. studied hard for entrance exams and got into a better one the next year.

first year of college i had my first win. or at least what i thought was a win back then. i landed my first internship. it didn't pay much in money. but it paid a lot in knowing what i should not be doing for the rest of my college life.

then in 2024 i won my first hackathon. an online hack. $170. not a lot. but i took that money and straight booked a flight to bengaluru. the tech capital of india.

that flight changed the track of my life. i met so many goats there. it was impossible to not get inspired. impossible to not want to build something great. since then i challenge myself to be in places i don't deserve to go. travel. meet new people. explore myself. that's what new experiences teach you.

First flight from Delhi to Bengaluru, December 2024, the trip funded by hackathon winnings — my first flight from delhi to bangaluru, dec 2024. when it all started.

after a lot of failures and never giving up, for me the first big win back then was $3k in an online hack in 2025. that's when it clicked. if i never give up it's impossible to not win. anything is possible. like ANYTHING.

2025 was a year i'll never forget. i shipped many products, some worked, many didn't. won hackathon bounties. paid my own college fees. took my first international trip. traveled across 15 Indian cities. learned to speak spanish. stayed consistent with the gym. met some amazing people along the way.

entering 2026 with starting my own software company. got a $6k grant from the government of india to help support product development. super bullish on the indian ecosystem btw.

here i am today.
looking for my next big leap.
never give up. never stop being curious.
