The Journey
How it all
started.
From a bedroom in Chandigarh to Aotearoa — the honest, non-linear story of a self-taught builder chasing curiosity wherever it goes.
// age_15 → 2012
First website sold 💸
While friends played FIFA, I was building HTML templates and actually making money. Entirely self-taught — no school, no courses.
// age_16 → 2013
Tech blog + AdSense 📝
Launched a self-hosted tech blog running Google AdSense. Felt like a startup founder in a bedroom. Made real money.
// early_20s
Moved to Aotearoa 🇳🇿
Two suitcases, one-way ticket. Studied Business & Leadership. Delivered pizzas. Kept building on the side whenever life got quiet.
// mid_20s
Married the right person 💍
Best decision I ever made. She makes space for the late-night rabbit holes and half-baked ideas. That kind of support doesn't go unnoticed.
// a bit later
Became a dad 👶
Everything shifted in the best way. Priorities got clearer, time got scarcer. Fatherhood has a way of sharpening what actually matters.
// present → 2025
Married dad, still vibing 🥹
Husband, father, and still chasing weird ideas at odd hours. Building for fun, writing honestly, figuring out legacy.
