Welcome, @CANDRA2006

Not many people can switch between writing Python and writing poetry in the same afternoon but something tells me you can. With your background spanning web dev, AI and a whole creative world outside of tech, you bring a really refreshing perspective to this community.
Happy to have you here dive in, ask questions, and enjoy the ride

[Rudra-RNC]

• Name: Rudra Kumar
• Tech Journey: Pre-final Year CS major exploring open source, competitive programming, and full-stack development while continuously sharpening problem-solving, decision making and organizing skills. I also enjoy debugging and solving complex problems (Thus, C++).
• Language(s): C++, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Python and SQL
• Why I am here: To collaborate with developers, contribute to projects, and learn from the hands-on project building open-source approach as I procrastinate Video lectures (I am yet to start my backend lectures DAMN) quite frequently and I am addicted to the Dopamine and Adrenaline Rush as I see my work solve real world problems.
• Fun Fact: I like playing games, well my love for Computer Science in itself is a result of that obsession like many of the people on here. Other than that, I enjoy watching shows ranging from Real World Documentaries to Fantasies and Animated Masterpieces. I plan to cross this wall of self-doubt and anxiety soon to produce rather than consume starting with somewhere much more welcoming like the world of open source.
  That was all me would love to connect and chat with everyone here to learn, collaborate and later guide others.
