Hi, I’m Aryan, born in the misty, tea-covered hills of Darjeeling . My story with technology began long before I could understand its complexity back in the age of Windows XP , when I was just a kid glued to the screen playing Counter Strike, GTA and Need for Speed.

At first, it was all about the fun, but somewhere between the loading screens and victory screens, a deeper question started to form: How does all this actually work?

I wrote my first "programs" in BASIC at the age of 10. Those tiny text based experiments that felt magical at the time. Soon, I was tinkering with C++, building simple applications and feeling like I was slowly learning the language of the machine. I was staying up late writing anything that I can think of, trying to change the way my computer worked.

Not so long after I discovered the world of hacking. Surfing through web let me to forums where people dissected security flaws, IRC chatrooms buzzing with discussions on exploits, encryption, and code where I learned from like minded individuals across the globe. I wasn’t just learning how to hack. I was learning how to think differently to pull systems apart, understand their insides and put them back together, often stronger than before. That period became the foundation for my passion in cybersecurity, coding and continuous exploration of technology. That thrill of discovery hasn’t left me since.

I’m also equally fascinated by philosophy. The kind of deep, winding questions that make you rethink how you see the world. I like reading classics, history, art and playing chess. I’m constantly exploring new hobbies to experience the joy of learning something new.

I also live with AuDHD , which far from holding me back, has shaped my approach to life. It makes my brain a bit like a browser with too many tabs open but in the best way. I can jump between ideas, see unusual connections, and dive deep into what fascinates me, often discovering things I might never have noticed otherwise.
