Hello, I'm Jaskirat!
I'm
I'm a final year computer science student at the University of Waterloo with an interest in developing high performance full stack applications, distributed systems and AI.
About Me
Hello there! 👋 I'm thrilled you've stumbled upon my profile. My name is Jaskirat, a nature-loving, sports enthusiast hailing from the vibrant landscapes of India. My journey into the world of coding began in high school when I discovered the excitement of creating something from nothing with just a few lines of code.
What intrigued me most about coding was its limitless potential to solve real-world problems. The ability to break down complex challenges into manageable parts and develop innovative solutions fascinated me. This passion for problem-solving and curiosity drove me deeper into programming.
Coding, for me, is not just a profession but a passion that I pursue with the same vigor as my love for the outdoors and sports. The thrill of solving a complex problem with code parallels the adrenaline rush of a competitive game or a challenging hike.
Outside of work,
I actively work out to stay focused, disciplined, and healthy. This routine helps me maintain a balanced and energized lifestyle, enabling me to tackle coding challenges with renewed vigor and clarity.
