About Me

Hi, I'm Shiva Kar — a BCA student from Hojai, Assam, India.

My focus is on deep technical fundamentals, not frameworks or hype. I'm building a strong foundation in C programming, memory management, OS internals, and systems design, with the long-term goal of specializing in backend engineering at a top tech company.

My structured learning path:

C → C++ (DSA) → Java + Spring Boot → Python
     ↓
Backend SDE → Distributed Systems → Cloud → MAANG

Timeline: Internship by end of BCA · MCA from NIT via NIMCET
