About
I'm Arjun, a 16-year-old full-stack developer from India. I taught myself to code because I wanted to build stuff, and now I can't stop. I mostly work with Next.js and TypeScript, but I've also been getting into machine learning lately (built a medical prediction model that won a national science fair). I write about what I'm learning on DEV.to, which has been a great way to think through problems and help others along the way. Outside of coding, I'm learning Spanish, solving LeetCode problems, and I write about life on Medium.
