I was born in Hoshiarpur, a city in the Indian state of Punjab on September 9, 1990. My father, Amarjit Singh; a Banker who is a graduate in Medical Science. My mother, Paramjit Kaur; is a Doctorate in Political Science and has been in teaching profession from past three decades. I was grown up in custody of my grandfather Late S. Bhan Singh, a military veteran whose presence inculcated spirituality and discipline in my life.
I was in 4th grade in the year 1998, when I first saw a computer machine as I accompanied my father to his training center (when Banking in India was computerized) and it was then Computing & Technology became my passion.
My life had great ups and downs, and I do believe that they are a part of everyone’s life. I did my schooling from St. Joseph’s Convent School, Hoshiarpur. I was never a book worm kinda student and always looked computing and hacking as my passion.
I obtained my Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana. It was my 18th birthday when I got admission to that great institution named on First Sikh Guru, Guru Nanak; that changed my life and Environmental Engineering became my major and passion. I began to work on a technical project to make my college, India’s first carbon neutral campus with guidance of Dr Rai and Er Asija. During those four years my passion for Environment Protection and Computing kept propelling.
I am still looking forward for a world of my hopes; when every human on this planet has access to internet, crash-free roads, clean air to breath, safe drinking water, offices with no paper, a corruption free world with every person having a job and where humanity matters more than money-making. I hope God would bless me to explore my inner potentials to make this planet a better place to live in. I have miles to go to find a world of my own. My Belief and Faith in God almighty would surely brighten my future.
