Introduction

Hi there! I’m Priyansha, a 6th-semester Computer Engineering student at Kathmandu Engineering College. This blog is my way of tracking my learning journey, sharing what I experiment with, the challenges I face, and the small wins I achieve along the way.

I’m not an expert yet — far from it! But I believe that learning out loud is the best way to grow, stay motivated, and inspire others who are just starting out in tech.


Why I Started This Blog

I’ve always been curious about software development, web technologies, and problem-solving. During my coursework and small personal projects, I realized that keeping track of my progress is incredibly motivating.

By sharing my journey here, I hope to:

  • Reflect on what I’m learning and where I need to improve
  • Build a habit of documenting progress
  • Connect with others who are also learning

My Current Focus Areas

Right now, I’m focusing on:

  • Web Development: Learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and React
  • UI/UX Design: Exploring Canva and design principles
  • Project Practice: Building small apps and experimenting with code
  • Problem Solving: Tackling programming exercises and challenges

Every project, no matter how small, teaches me something new — whether it’s debugging a tricky bug or designing a better interface.


Small Wins Along the Way

Some recent things I’ve worked on include:

  • Creating a personal portfolio website to showcase my skills and projects
  • Completing online tutorials on React and UI design
  • Contributing ideas to campus tech events as part of my ambassador roles

I like to celebrate these small wins because they remind me that learning is a journey, not a race.


Challenges I’m Facing

Learning tech isn’t always smooth! Some challenges I’m currently tackling:

  • Balancing college coursework and self-learning
  • Understanding more advanced JavaScript concepts
  • Deploying projects live and maintaining them

I try to approach these challenges as opportunities to learn deeper and grow stronger.


Looking Forward

As I move through my 6th semester and beyond, my plan is to:

  • Build more real-world projects
  • Keep experimenting with different tech stacks
  • Share regular progress updates on this blog

The goal isn’t perfection — it’s consistent growth, learning, and exploration.
