Tariq

Second-year CS student mapping the whole field before picking a lane — from C++ and OOP to networking fundamentals, the MERN stack, and the beginnings of AI. I like taking things apart to understand them, then building my own version.

About

Still mapping the territory, on purpose.

I'm a second-year Computer Science student at NASTP Institute of Information Technology (NIIT), genuinely curious about how technology works underneath the interface — and how it can be pointed at real problems.

Right now I'm deliberately going wide before I go deep: programming, web development, networking, and AI are all on the table. The goal is a well-rounded foundation I can specialize from later, built through hands-on projects, competitions, and staying involved in my student community.

Outside class, I'm a self-directed learner — working through documentation and tutorials beyond the curriculum, and volunteering to help run events for my institute's student society.
