🌱 From .NET Developer to Building My Own Programming Language in Tamil

I'm a Software Engineer from Tamil Nadu, India. After 2 years of working in .NET technologies at Capgemini, life took a turn — a break due to health and personal reasons. But instead of giving up, I decided to rise again.

💻 Rebuilding Myself

In 2024, I started learning Python and AI through YouTube and free resources. No paid bootcamps. No mentors. Just me, my curiosity, and the internet.

During this time, I discovered something powerful — coding can feel like home when it's written in your own language.

🇮🇳 Introducing TamilLang – A Programming Language in Tamil

I created TamilLang, a small programming language using Python that lets you code using Tamil keywords.

🔹 Published on PyPI: pip install tamilcode
🔹 Supports Tamil keywords like பதிப்பி, மாற்று, நிறைவு, and more
🔹 Built using Python, CLI tools, and Unicode logic
🔹 You can embed Python inside using PYTHON: blocks
🔹 Perfect for beginners who speak Tamil but fear English-based syntax

🧠 It was a fun experiment in language parsing, interpreters, and CLI building.


💬 Why I Built It

I wanted to show that you don’t need to be perfect in English to become a programmer. Logic has no language. And if tech feels too foreign, let’s make it feel local.

🌟 What’s Next?

I’m still exploring:
Backend development with .NET and Python
AI tools like ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini
Open-source projects and community learning

And yes, I’m open to AI, web, or backend roles!

🙏 Thank You for Reading**
