Intro
👋 Hi there! I am Sonu Gupta, a Software Engineer and
a junior in college passionate about increasing diversity and equity in technology. I was born in Birgunj, Nepal in a multicultural family
and I am currently based in Iowa, United States. My journey as a first generation college student to Software Engineer has shaped me into the person I
am today. Coming from a non-traditional background, I am committed to making technical knowledge accessible in hopes to inspire and
empower others to pursue careers in technology, ultimately making a positive impact in the world. 🚀
Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills as an avid software engineer and tech enthusiast, constantly seeking opportunities to
expand my knowledge and expertise. As a first-generation student, I am always eager to learn the next framework, paradigm, or
programming language. I thrive in dynamic environments that challenge me to grow and push the boundaries of what is possible.
From tackling intricate challenges to collaborating with diverse teams, I embrace every chance to contribute to meaningful projects. 🎯
In addition to my professional pursuits, I have a diverse set of interests and hobbies that enrich my life. Whether it's engaging in
competitive table tennis matches 🏓, exploring the world on my bike, or immersing myself in the exciting realm of Esports, I find joy
in staying active and connected to the vibrant community around me.
Beyond physical activities, I have a penchant for engaging in late-night philosophical discussions that delve into the depths of
human understanding. Exploring profound questions and challenging conventional thinking fuels my curiosity and broadens my
perspectives. Moreover, I have a deep appreciation for graphics, languages, nature, and the fascinating field of Machine Learning
and Artificial Intelligence. These diverse interests allow me to approach problem-solving from a multidimensional perspective and
inspire innovative solutions. 💡
As I continue to grow and thrive in the field of software engineering, I am actively seeking opportunities to contribute my skills
and knowledge to projects that make a difference. I am excited to connect with like-minded professionals who share my passion for
SWE and SDE, and together, create a more inclusive and innovative future. Let's connect and explore the possibilities of
collaboration! 🤝
