 I am a recent Computer Science graduate from the University of Calgary. I enjoy building things and collaborating with others in a shared setting and being a part of a community that shares this passion for coming up with innovative solutions for problems.
 
 As an aspiring Software Engineer and DevOps enthusiast, I love assembling things, both software and hardware, from scratch and automating everything. I am always eager to learn and stay up-to-date with the latest technologies and industry trends.

 Some of the things that I am occupied with **now** are:
 
-- Working on [JobAppTrackr](https://github.com/Bhodrolok/JobAppTrackr), [rupantar](https://github.com/Bhodrolok/rupantar), and this [website](https://github.com/Bhodrolok/Bhodrolok.github.io).
-- Learning C# and Golang. 
-- Gitting gud at [bash](https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/bash.1.html) and [PowerShell](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/) scripting.
-- Finding ways to improve my previous projects.

+    - A few others on top of these but those are still mostly in the drawing board/Proof-of-Concept stage!
+- Learning C# and Golang while also getting better with JavaScript/TypeScript and Python (along with their ever-evolving ecosystems!).

 - Practicing mindfulness and gratitude.
-- Catching up on my reading list and movies backlog.
+- Catching up on my reading list and movies backlog. Some podcasts here and there as well!
