Aspiring Software Engineer · BCA student

Building my foundations in software engineering & AI.

I am Shomay Singh Parihar, a BCA student focused on becoming a world-class software engineer. I learn by building: systems, web apps, ML workflows, and real projects that force me to think like an engineer, not just a coder.

About

Who I am and how I think as an engineer

I am a Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA) student with a clear long-term ambition to become a high-impact software engineer specializing in large-scale systems at the intersection of software engineering, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

My learning philosophy is grounded in a project-first approach. I focus on translating theory into real, working systems that expose architectural trade-offs, scalability challenges, debugging complexity, and performance constraints. I deliberately prioritize fewer, high-depth projects over superficial breadth in order to develop strong engineering judgment.

My technical interests include full-stack web development , Large Language Models and Generative AI, Flutter fundamentals, and core computer science disciplines such as Operating Systems and Software Engineering & Modelling. Together, these areas shape a systems-oriented approach to problem-solving and product design.

I am originally from Gwaldam, Chamoli (Uttarakhand). I completed my secondary education at Kendriya Vidyalaya SSB, Gwaldam, securing 72%, followed by senior secondary education with Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Computer Science, achieving 77%. This background strengthened my analytical reasoning and foundational computing skills.

I am currently based in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, pursuing my undergraduate degree at Amity University. My academic journey reflects consistent progress toward building strong technical fundamentals, disciplined learning habits, and professional engineering rigor.

I am committed to continuous skill development and to leveraging technology to design and build reliable, scalable software systems that deliver meaningful and long-term real-world impact.

Journey

How I am structuring my growth

I work with a long-term mindset: multi-year plans broken into focused phases of skill-building.

Phase 1

Foundations: Programming & Core CS

Built a base in Python, HTML, and core computer science subjects like Operating Systems, Software Engineering, and basic Java. Started solving problems and understanding how software is structured.

  • College coursework: BCA (core CS subjects)
  • Explored Application Devlopment(Dart) and system reports on macOS
  • Learned how tooling (VS Code, Xcode, Warp, Jupyter, Anaconda) fits into workflows
Phase 2

Building: Web/Application, DSA & Real Projects

Strengthening development skills via front-end, starting Application Devlopment(Dart/Flutter), and consistent DSA practice (LeetCode) to build problem-solving muscles.

  • Frontend: HTML · CSS · JavaScript fundamentals
  • Start WebDev and Flutter basics
  • Regular DSA practice: arrays, recursion, patterns
Phase 3

Scaling: AI, LLMs & Global Opportunities

Aim to specialize in LLMs & Generative AI, build serious projects, and prepare for international opportunities like M.Sc. in Computer Science.

  • Design and implement ML/LLM-backed applications
  • Contribute to open-source or research-driven projects
  • Align projects with long-term goals

Long-Term Goals

  • Become a high-level software engineer with strong systems & AI understanding.
  • Crack top-tier roles (high-impact MNC / product companies).
  • Pursue advanced studies in Computer Science and work on real-world AI systems.
