Hi, I'm Shaurya Kshitij
Trying to understand the tech that's going to shape things next.
Year 8 student · Computer Science, AI & Biology · figuring things out as I go along.

About me, so far
I study at Wallington County Grammar School, currently in Year 8, with a strong interest in Computer Science, AI and Biology. I like getting into how things actually work, and using that to build things of my own.
I'm particularly interested in technology being put to real use. Computer Science is my favourite part of that, and I'm also curious about Biology, especially where it might meet AI and medical technology down the line.
I don't have it all figured out yet, and I'm okay with that — I'd rather try stuff and get it wrong than not try at all. If something doesn't work the first time, I just try to figure out why and go again.
This site's where I'll post what I'm working on and what I've been up to — projects, things I've learned, random stuff. Trying to update it most weeks.

What I'm curious about
Computer Science
I study computer science at school and explore it at home. Finally figuring out what a bug was in my code is extremely satisfying, and I really enjoy the problem-solving side of it.
Web Design
Web design is about how the parts of a site fit together so people can actually use it, and I'm learning each one. AI helps me ship my own sites at the moment, but my next goal is a site built entirely on my own.
Ethical Hacking
I'm fascinated by how systems get broken into, and how they're defended. Learning to think like an attacker is the best way to build things that are hard to attack.
Artificial Intelligence
I keep up with the latest in AI, especially what it's capable of and where it falls short. I'm curious whether it will really change the future the way people say it will, or whether it won't.
Technology
Technology is the one thing I never get bored of. I keep up with what Apple, Google and the other big names are doing, and I'm genuinely excited thinking about what it could unlock for the world.
Gaming
Games are my favourite way to relax, and my favourite way to get curious. I even built a small one into this site, so keep an eye out for the snake.

My toolkit
Python
Following the "100 Days of Code" course, one day at a time, until writing Python feels natural.
Web dev
Taking sites apart to see how they work, starting with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and publishing a few of my own with AI as a helper.
Technology & AI
Staying on top of new technology, and exploring how AI might change the world, from the big shifts to the small ones.
GitHub
Learning to use GitHub properly: saving my work, tracking changes, and showing off what I've built.
Problem Solving
Not giving up on a stubborn bug: finding where it starts, testing ideas, and trying again.
