Translation: Swaraj Puppalwar, who acquired multiple computer programming skills at a young age.
On September 20, 2023, a Marathi-language interview featuring me was published on YouTube by Swachata Mitra Gaurav Shamkule.
I was 15 years old at the time, a school student from Chandrapur, Maharashtra, who had been exploring programming since the age of 11.
The interview focused on my early interest in computers, programming skills, and journey into software development.

My Programming Journey in 2023
By 2023, I had already spent several years learning programming, experimenting with different technologies, and developing small software projects.
My early learning included Python, Java, C/C++, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Node.js.
Most of my learning came from curiosity, experimentation, and building projects independently.
I was interested not only in writing code but also in understanding how software worked behind the scenes.
This interview was one of the early opportunities I had to share that interest publicly.
Looking Back From 2026
Three years later, my focus has expanded significantly.
I'm currently the Founder & CTO of Lioran Group, working through Lioran Developer Solutions on database systems and developer infrastructure.
One of my primary projects is LioranDB, a NoSQL document database written in Rust.
My work now involves storage engines, B+Trees, MVCC, write-ahead logging, indexing, memory management, concurrency, crash recovery, performance benchmarking, and managed database hosting.
The transition from learning programming languages to engineering database infrastructure has involved plenty of failures, debugging sessions, architectural changes, and lessons.
And there's still a lot to learn.
Why I'm Preserving This Interview
I'm sharing this interview on DEV Community as part of documenting my journey in computer science and software engineering.
It represents an earlier chapter, when I was simply a student fascinated by programming.
Today, I'm working toward a larger goal of building developer infrastructure from India.
The projects have changed, the problems have become more complicated, and my understanding of engineering continues to evolve.
But the curiosity that started everything remains.
