My fascination with technology began when I was just eight years old. Lines of code on a glowing screen felt like puzzle pieces that could unlock whole new worlds. That sense of wonder never left me. Over time, I became fluent in Python, C++, JavaScript, and PHP—each language another tool to bring my ideas to life. Game development, in particular, became my creative outlet. It’s more than recreation to me; it’s storytelling and problem-solving combined. My current projects—still works in progress—are playgrounds where design, AI, and imagination come together, pushing me to grow as both a coder and a creator.
But my journey isn’t only digital. As a Warrant Officer with the 604 Moose Squadron, I’ve had the honor of earning awards in leadership, physical fitness, biathlon, and marksmanship. These experiences taught me discipline, resilience, and teamwork—the same skills that help me thrive in academics and life. Whether I’m mountain biking, snowboarding, or training with cadets, I find the same mix of strategy, adaptability, and reflection that fuels my approach to technology.
My deepest academic interest lies in artificial intelligence—especially the ethical questions it raises. I often ask myself: How do we design intelligent systems not just to serve us, but to serve humanity? How do we balance innovation with responsibility, power with compassion? These questions guide me as much as the technical work itself.
That spirit of care and responsibility is also what connects me to another, deeply personal chapter of my life: carrying forward my family’s legacy of education. My great-grandfather was one of the first in Punjab to earn a Master’s degree from the University of Lahore, proving that knowledge can change the course of a life. My grandparents carried that vision with extraordinary generosity, making sure others could learn, grow, and dream bigger. Today, they are passing me the torch. They’ve asked me to take on the responsibility of supporting Suraj and Saurabh, two boys in Noida, India, whose education we sponsor.
It amazes me that their school fees, books, and uniforms cost just $30 CAD a month—such a small sum, yet powerful enough to change their future. I want to do more. I’ve created this blog as a way to share their journey, track their progress over time, and invite others to join in. I’ve even set up a Tigly account so that friends, family, and readers can contribute directly. Soon, I hope to travel to India to meet them myself and tell them in person how many people believe in their dreams.
In the end, all of these experiences—coding, cadets, sports, family traditions—connect back to one simple belief: that each of us has the capacity and responsibility to shape a better world. Sometimes it takes just one thoughtful action, one new idea, or one act of support to change the direction of a life.
