Hi there! My name is Ankit Sharma. Welcome to my little corner in this vast internet ocean.
I absolutely love technology and what it can do to make our lives easier. I moved to programming from electrical engineering in 2014 and have never looked back since. Programming is like art to me. You have a blank canvas on which you can create whatever you want.
I started out with C doing embedded systems programming, building small linux kernels. For my masters project at Boston University, I made a smart home app for Android using Java which can control smart lights and a Nest thermostat. I really liked building Android apps and decided to become an Android developer after graduation.
In my free time, I love to read and learn about other technologies. This website was created because I wanted to get my feet wet in web development. I'm interested in mentoring younger developers and building technical teams. I get to do this at work but would like to be more involved on a larger scale someday in the future. I've also been trying to write technical blog posts and to do some creative writing on Medium, we'll see how that goes.
