From AMIE + COVID stall to IITM BS. The decision to begin again, not as a fallback, but as a deliberate restart.
8 courses. Mathematics, Statistics, Computing, English. First real academic exams, sat from home, without a classroom, and passed.
Became Python TA for the same Foundation Python course that once opened the door. The loop closed.
6 courses. Theory became product: VAce (MAD I), Medflow HMS (MAD II). The point where software became something real.
ML theory to Kaggle Top 50. BDM Capstone recovered ₹72–100L in annual value for a real client. The data work became applied.
Software Engineering, Software Testing, AI: Search Methods for Problem Solving, Deep Learning. The ceiling got higher.
Student body work across Tech, Arts, Entrepreneurship. 35K+ students. The degree as a launchpad, not a destination.
