Hello dev community! 👋
I'm Raj Guru Yadav, a 16-year-old developer who’s crazy about code, logic, and turning ideas into reality. Recently, I crossed 700+ projects, and today I want to share how I got here, what I’ve learned, and what you can take away from my journey.
🧠 How It All Started
I wrote my first line of code when I was barely 13. I was curious, passionate, and… honestly, addicted to the idea of creating something cool with just a keyboard!
Starting with HTML, CSS, and Python, I soon explored:
💻 JavaScript, Java, C++
🧮 Math-based projects
🕹️ Games & animations
🤖 AI voice bots
🧠 Logic-based applications
🔥 Full-stack apps with Firebase & APIs
💡 What Keeps Me Motivated?
Learning by doing — Every project taught me something new.
Online resources — ChatGPT, YouTube, dev.to, and docs became my teachers.
Building for fun — I never made it a “task”. I made it a passion.
🔧 Tools & Platforms I Love
VS Code 🧩
Firebase 🔥
GitHub 📁
Canva (for UI planning)
ChatGPT (for logic + brainstorming)
💬 What I Learned After 700+ Projects

✅ Errors are not failures — they’re part of the process
✅ Sharing your work matters — it brings visibility
✅ Building a portfolio early gives you a huge headstart
✅ You don’t need a big team or budget — just ideas and internet
✨ Advice to Fellow Teen Coders
Start today, even if it’s messy.

Post your work — someone out there needs your creation.
Take feedback positively, even if it stings.
