From college dropout to MERN Dev: My journey into tech.

Hello DEV Community πŸ‘‹

I'm Adarsh, and this is my very first post here!

Back in 2021, I dropped out of college β€” and at that time, I had no clear path ahead. But deep inside, I always believed I was meant for something more purposeful. Today, I'm a MERN Dev-in-training, building real-world projects and working toward my dream of becoming a top-level software engineer.

🧠 How I Got Started

Even after dropping out, I didn't give up on learning. I joined a 6 month intensive coding bootcamp at Brototype.

There, I discovered the power of the MERN Stack β€” MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. I fell in love with how these technologies work together to build powerful web applications.

πŸ› οΈ What I’m Building

I've been hands-on with projects like:

  • 🏍️ A redesigned UI for Kawasaki India (just for fun β€” and because I wanted to show what I could do).
  • 🧘 Mendora – a personal milestone: a mental health platform offering meditation, journaling, and anonymous chat.

Each project has taught me something new β€” not just in code, but in discipline and mindset.

πŸ” My Focus Right Now

  • Deepening my understanding of JavaScript and React.
  • Writing clean, scalable backend code with Express & MongoDB

🎯 My Mission

I’m not here to chase trends. I’m here to master my craft, build impactful projects, and grow into an engineer who can lead teams, build startups, and contribute meaningfully.

πŸ™Œ Let’s Connect!

If you’re on your own learning journey or working on cool MERN projects, I’d love to connect with you! I’m here to learn, share, and grow with this amazing community.

Thanks for reading! More technical deep-dives and project stories coming soon. πŸ”₯

– Adarsh.
