Hey there! 👋 I'm Sourav Kumar, a passionate Computer Science student at UCET Hazaribagh 🎓.

Driven by curiosity 💡, logic 🧠, and consistency 💪, I'm on a mission to craft scalable, impactful, and innovative solutions with code.

💻 For me, tech isn't just about writing programs — it's about turning ideas into robust, user-friendly experiences that make a real difference. 🚀

🌍 Growing up in Jharkhand 🇮🇳, I shaped my journey through:

• 📚 Open-source learning and community-driven development
• 🛠️ Hands-on projects that solve real-world problems
• 🧠 Relentless problem-solving mindset that never gives up
• 🔥 Continuous learning from failures and successes alike

🚀 "I don't aim to consume content — I aim to earn mastery."
🎯 "Every bug is a lesson, every project is a stepping stone."
⚡ "Code with purpose, build with passion, deploy with pride."

"Don't just copy tutorials. Break them. Rebuild them. Make them yours." 🔥

I follow a systematic Build-First Learning methodology that transforms theoretical knowledge into practical expertise:

🧩 Explore	🛠️ Build	🔍 Debug	✅ Refine
Dissect problems and understand the core challenge	Translate concepts into working, functional projects	Hunt down bugs, learn from failures, and grow stronger	Polish logic, optimize performance, and improve UX

• ⚡ Every line of code I write is a step toward blending logic, creativity, and innovation into impactful software
• 🔄 Iterative Development: Build → Test → Learn → Improve → Repeat
• 🎨 User-Centric Design: Always thinking about the end user's experience
• 🚀 Performance First: Writing efficient, scalable, and maintainable code

Mantra: Learn → Apply → Break → Fix → Repeat 🔄
