Hi im sahil

aka sahiwl (pronounced same)

I'm a CS final year student who's into coding, computers, and attempting design (still working on that last one). When I'm not programming, you'll find me playing basketball, surfing letterboxd, or occasionally reading.



journey

Started with Python in 2020, learned the basics, then... stopped for some reason. Picked it up again in high school through coursework, then discovered web development.


Started building small projects right away – a simple calculator, then a basic weather app that barely worked. They broke constantly, but that's how I learned. Each bug taught me something new about how things actually work under the hood. Built a task manager that crashed when you added too many items, created a portfolio site that looked terrible on mobile, made a quiz app with memory leaks. But with each broken project, I got better at debugging, understanding fundamentals, and actually shipping something that works.


I'm not claiming to be some coding prodigy – just someone who learns by building, breaking, and fixing. Each project gets a little better, and I can actually get things done now.
