About Me — Ankit
Tech Enthusiast, Explorer of Worlds Both Digital and Real, Lifelong Learner — Stepping into the Light with My First ‘About Me’ Story.
After what feels like an eternity of thought (and perhaps too much overthinking), coupled with a brief hiatus from writing (although, let’s be honest, the gears in my brain never really stop turning), I’ve decided it’s time to share my story. Yes, this is the moment where I introduce myself to the world of Medium properly. So, let’s dive in, shall we?
A Little Bit About Me
If personality quizzes are your jam, you might say I’m a mix between an innovator and an adventurer. But if star signs are more your style, you’d find me born under the banner of innovation and curiosity.
From the sprawling urban landscapes of New Delhi to the tech-hub vibrancy of Bangalore, my life has been a series of navigations through cultures, challenges, and coding languages. Bangalore not only marks the chapter where my academic and professional life took off but also where I found my tribe — a community that embraces the curious, the tech-savvy, and the gastronomically adventurous.
In the Realm of Bits and Bytes
My professional odyssey commenced in the corridors of Cognizant as a humble coder before venturing into the dynamic world of frontend development at a startup that felt more like a think-tank than a mere workplace. This pivot wasn’t just a career move; it was the gateway to a world where creativity meets technology, leading to the creation of innovative apps and SaaS products.
But why stop at coding? The financial markets called out to me, and I answered by diving into the world of trading. Balancing the logical with the speculative, my journey through the realms of tech and trading has been nothing short of exhilarating.
Beyond the Screen
Yet, there’s more to me than algorithms and market analyses. My soul craves the adventure of new tastes and terrains. From the simple joy of discovering a new momo joint in the city’s heart to the complex flavors of a well-made ramen, my quest for culinary excellence knows no bounds. And when I’m not indulging in gastronomic escapades, I’m out exploring new locales, each with its own story to tell.
However, it’s not all about external explorations. Internally, I often find myself lost in thought, contemplating the what-ifs and the why-nots of life — a trait that’s both a curse and a blessing.
Why I Write
Never did I imagine that my thoughts would find a home outside the confines of my mind. Yet, here I am, ready to share my insights, experiences, and musings with the world. Writing, to me, is the path of least resistance — a way to express myself without the pressure of performance or the glare of the spotlight. It’s my hope that through my words, I can offer solace, inspiration, or even a simple moment of connection with you, my reader.
What Lies Ahead
As I navigate through the complexities of adult life, finding balance between my passions and responsibilities, I’ve discovered a myriad of interests that light up my world — from delving into the depths of technology and finance to embracing the simple pleasures of good food and great company.
On Medium, I aim to share the stories of my journey — the victories, the setbacks, and everything in between. More than anything, I look forward to hearing from you, the diverse and vibrant community of Medium, as we exchange stories, insights, and perhaps, even a recipe or two.
So here’s to the beginning of a beautiful dialogue. I invite you to join me on this journey of exploration, learning, and growth. Together, let’s unravel the stories that make us who we are, in a world that’s constantly in flux.
And there you have it — a little slice of my world. I’m thrilled to embark on this journey of expression and connection. Your stories, your insights, and your presence here make this adventure all the more enriching. Let’s dive into this vast ocean of shared human experience, shall we?
