Two files, one applicant

Each pursuit shows up as its own file below — but read together, not apart.

Track — Engineering

The Software Engineer

I'm drawn to writing code that is clear, correct, and useful — the same instincts that make a good program also make a good policy: define the problem precisely, handle the edge cases, and don't ship something that breaks for the people relying on it.

I'm building fundamentals in web development and problem-solving, learning in public, and treating every small project as practice for larger, more consequential systems.

Track — Public Service

The Civil Service Aspirant

I want to work inside the systems that shape everyday life — administration, governance, and public policy — where the "users" are entire communities, and the stakes are measured in outcomes, not uptime.

My preparation is structured like any hard exam: consistent study of polity, economy, current affairs, and ethics, alongside long-form writing practice for the mains.

What connects them: I care about systems that work for the people who depend on them — whether that system is a web application or a public office. Logic, discipline, and service are the same muscle, exercised differently.

The road ahead

A real sequence — where I've started, and where I'm headed.

Foundation

Learning to build for the web

Started with HTML, CSS and JavaScript fundamentals, building small projects like this one to learn by doing.

In progress

Civil service groundwork

Building a base in polity, economy and current affairs, while developing a daily writing and revision habit for the mains stage.

Next

Deeper technical skill

Moving into structured problem-solving, data structures, and larger software projects, alongside continued exam preparation.

Ahead

Choosing the path, or building both

Whichever door opens first — a software engineering role or a civil service posting — I want it to be one I'm genuinely prepared for.

Section 05

Let's talk

Open to internships, junior developer roles, mentorship, study groups, or just a conversation about either path. Reach out — I read everything.
