Hey there, I'm
Soumyadeep Pradhan.
Building for the web. Writing about how things actually work.
A bit about me.
I'm a Full-Stack Developer at JPMorgan Chase & Co., where I build and debug real-world applications across both frontend and backend.
I'm genuinely obsessed with AI, not the hype, but the part where it quietly makes engineering feel like cheating in the best way possible.
Outside of work, you'll find me singing, painting, or chasing a creative side-project. I'm also an avid traveller, always planning the next trip.
I've recently started writing blogs too. It turns out, explaining something clearly is the fastest way to realize you didn't fully understand it yourself.
Fun factI have travelled 18 states across India and counting. Every trip teaches me something a textbook never could.
