Hello there!

I am Shikhar Soni, a first year Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate student at IIT Kharagpur. Computers, coding, open-source, and anything tech-related excites me. I am fascinated by the idealogy of open-source and have been trying to contribute to some projects. I am an active member of MetaKGP, an open community of students working on useful projects to solve day-to-day problems faced by KGPians.

"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication." - Leonardo da Vinci

"In character, in manner, in style, in all things, the supreme excellence is simplicity." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

These quotes have been the driving force of my life lately. While writing code or solving a physics problem, I actively try to make the solution as simple as possible. And it often pays off, giving extra time to work that out. That is why I enjoy writing in Go so much, with its focus on simplicity.

Outside the world of syntax and logic, I like to take photographs. I find calm in visiting places, taking pictures, and capturing moments. I am also a member of TFPS, the film-making and photography society of IIT-KGP and have met some amazing photographers here. Check out some of my pictures in the gallery.

P.S., Creating and maintaining this site is one of my resolutions for 2024. I hope it works well :)
