From Writing Code in a Notebook to Building AI Projects

Hi, I’m Sanu Sharma
I’m from the IT field, and I mainly work on coding and software development. I’m also interested in hardware, but hardware projects can be expensive, so most of the time I focus on software.

This is my first post on DEV, and I’m really excited to start sharing my journey here.

On this platform, I’ll share my real experiences —
what I build, why I build it, how I build it, and everything I learn along the way.

How My Coding Journey Started (2022)

I started my coding journey after my 10th exams in 2022.

To be honest, I didn’t start coding because I was a genius or because I had some big plan.
I started because my friends were trying to learn coding, and I didn’t want to be left behind.

I never joined any paid coaching.
I learned everything from YouTube and free resources.

At the beginning, I was confused.
I would start learning Python, then switch to Java, then C… and it kept repeating.
I didn’t know what to learn or where to focus.

But during that time, I successfully learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

And the most interesting part is — I didn’t even have a laptop back then.

I used to write code in a notebook, imagining how it would run.
Sometimes I used online compilers, and even though they weren’t perfect, they were enough for me.

A Long Break (11th & 12th)

After that, I spent almost 2 years without coding, because I was in Class 11 and 12.
Academics took over, and I lost touch with programming completely.

College Restart (2024)

At the end of 2024, I joined college.

We had C++ in our syllabus. I tried learning it, but honestly, I found it very difficult and couldn’t really master it.

But then I met my old friends again —
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

This time, I didn’t just learn them… I tried to master them properly.
And along with that, I also learned React.

That’s when I started feeling confident in web development.

The Real Game Started (2025)

The real turning point of my journey came in the beginning of 2025.

Because I met Python again — and this time, Python felt different.

This time, Python felt easy.
Simple. Powerful. And fun.

I started building seriously, experimenting more, and using different AI tools to improve my learning and productivity.

And the result was real projects like:

1) Multi-persona AI

2) AI Cardiologist

3) A fully working messaging app

4) Space debris project

And many more..........

These projects were not just random ideas — they were real builds that helped me learn faster and think better.

What’s Next?

This is just the beginning.

In the coming days, I’ll be sharing my stories and projects here —
the things I build, the mistakes I make, and the lessons I learn.

All my projects are also available on my portfolio website, so you can check them out if you want.

I’m not here to impress anyone.
I’m here to improve, build, and grow.

Thanks for reading ❤️‍🔥
