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

Hello DEV Community ๐Ÿ‘‹

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

Back in 2021, I dropped out of college โ€” 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.

๐Ÿง  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 โ€” MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. I fell in love with how these technologies work together to build powerful web applications.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ What Iโ€™m Building

I've been hands-on with projects like:

  • ๐Ÿ๏ธ A redesigned UI for Kawasaki India (just for fun โ€” and because I wanted to show what I could do).
  • ๐Ÿง˜ Mendora โ€“ a personal milestone: a mental health platform offering meditation, journaling, and anonymous chat.

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

๐Ÿ” My Focus Right Now

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

๐ŸŽฏ My Mission

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

๐Ÿ™Œ Letโ€™s Connect!

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

Thanks for reading! More technical deep-dives and project stories coming soon. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

โ€“ Adarsh.
