Harshita's Story My interest in coding began when I was introduced to computers during high school. At first, I was just curious about how websites and apps were created. I remember trying to build a basic website using HTML and CSS, and even though it was simple, the feeling of creating something from scratch was incredibly rewarding. This curiosity grew stronger when I started learning programming languages like Python during my undergraduate studies. What truly captured my interest was realizing how coding could solve real-world problems. For instance, I worked on projects where I used AI and machine learning to create tools for summarization, text prediction, and language processing. Seeing how these applications could make tasks easier and more efficient inspired me to dive deeper. Coding for me is not just about writing lines of code but about using technology creatively to address challenges and make an impact. I enjoy the logical thinking it requires and the satisfaction of solving a problem after hours of effort. Every project I work on, no matter how small, reminds me why I started—because coding is a tool that turns ideas into reality, and I want to use it to create meaningful solutions.
My motivation for learning to code with SheCodes is rooted in my passion for leveraging technology to create innovative solutions and inspire change. As a computer science student deeply interested in artificial intelligence and machine learning, I’ve already explored impactful projects that integrate advanced technologies like natural language processing. However, I view coding as more than just a technical skill—it’s a means of empowerment and problem-solving, particularly for women aspiring to excel in tech. SheCodes offers the perfect platform to sharpen my coding expertise, push creative boundaries, and connect with a community that champions diversity and inclusion. This opportunity will not only help me grow as a developer but also enable me to inspire other women to embrace technology and pursue their ambitions with confidence. I am eager to make the most of this experience to contribute to a more inclusive and innovative tech future.
Outside of coding, I enjoy activities that help me unwind while also stimulating my creativity and curiosity. One of my favorite hobbies is reading, especially books related to technology, psychology, and personal development. These books broaden my perspectives and inspire new ideas for my projects. I also enjoy learning new languages; currently, I’m learning French, which is both a fun and challenging experience that helps expand my cultural understanding. In my free time, I love sketching and painting, which provides a creative outlet for self-expression. I find these activities a great way to relax and recharge, especially after long sessions. I’m also drawn to problem-solving and enjoy engaging in strategy games or puzzles that challenge my logical thinking. Staying active is also important to me. I practice yoga regularly, which helps with focus and maintaining mental clarity. Cycling is another favorite activity of mine, as it gives me a chance to explore the outdoors and clear my mind. When I need a mental break, I enjoy attending webinars and exploring new tech tools, especially related to AI and machine learning, to stay updated on the latest trends in technology. Ultimately, my hobbies help me balance work and life, encouraging personal growth and continuous learning
