let me Introduce myself

Hey! My name is Sooraj and I'm a final year Computer Engineering disciple at Pune Institute of Computer Technology. I was introduced to this field during my High School, where I learned to write C++ Code Snippets from simple logic and arithmetics, which invoked my interests in Problem Solving and Algorithms, from there I continued pursuing it for academics and expanded my knowledge in this field.

During past one or half year I found myself interested towards Web Development that's how I started learning a technology stack related to web dev, and I got to know Web Development has much to explore, I plan to dive deep into this sector of IT to find where it takes me.

What is ths Website?

Well, I was recollecting some fragments of Django (a Web Framework), which I planned to go like, one App per topic and each time I made progress, I was left with Django's Default Landing Page, which was sort of boring to look at. I took some time to make a "basic version" of this page for routing to my paths and used it as my landing page instead.

So, When I started practicing Deployment on Cloud platform with a domain name, this page was getting hosted globally, hence, I decided to modify the "basic version" to "what you're seeing now".
TL;DR, this is a landing page I made during those Django practice sessions.

What's Heptadecane?

Heptadecane is an organic compound, an alkane hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C₁₇H₃₆. It is a component of essential oils from plants like Opuntia littoralis and Annona squamosa. It has a role as a plant metabolite and a volatile oil component, and the word 'Heptadecane' itself fills me with energy for rest of the day.

well, that was a bluff the truth is, it was nearly impossible for me to think of a domain name. So, I used my Birthdate i.e. 7th of October which can be written as 7-10 and ultimately transformed into 'hepta'-'deca'. Now to combine both I thought of "Heptadecane" which sounded less weird than "Heptadecagon", and Bam! here we are with a Name and a Logo.

Areas of Interest

During this long academic run I stumbled upon a variety of domains and subs, though these are a few topics on which I am curious about and wants to spend some more time exploring.

Problem Solving

Act of determining the cause of the problem, beaking it and implementing a solution with alternatives keeps me going.

Data Structures

Data structures play a major role in development, the ability choose and implement the right one gives you an edge.

Web design

This is the development part of me, I am eager to learn backend technologies currently in production.

Mathematics

Why not? Essential for an evolving world, Language of Universe, will never fade away and countless reasons.

These are some of my favourites when it's about killing time.
Lets see if you can relate to me!
