👨‍💻 Pratyush Kashyap — In Search of the Signal Beneath the Syntax

Hello! I'm Pratyush — a first-year student of Computer Science & Engineering (CSE - AIML). Right now, I'm not building complex systems or leading open source projects. I'm doing something just as important: asking questions, seeking patterns, and tracing logic to its roots.

I'm learning C and C++ — not just as tools, but as keys to unlock the machine's mind. Each line I write, each bug I meet, tells me more about how thought becomes instruction, how metal seems to “remember,” and how the abstract becomes real.

🌱 Who I Am

• 🎓 Student: 1st Year, 3rd Semester
• 🧠 Branch: CSE — Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
• 🧭 Learning Path: I follow doubts. I trace errors. I connect ideas.
• 📚 Current Focus: Writing C/C++ code, understanding memory, learning how computers really "think"

I’m not rushing to projects — I’m building my mind like a craftsman builds tools: slowly, intentionally, curiously.

🔧 What I'm Exploring

I’m building a foundational understanding of:

• Languages: C, C++ (The closer to the metal, the more real it feels)
• Concepts:
  • How memory is allocated, addressed, and deallocated
  • How code is translated by the compiler (preprocessing to linking)
  • How data structures shape logic
  • How systems operate beneath abstraction
• Tools I'm learning: GCC, VS Code, Git (early stage), Terminal (command-line curiosity)

🔍 Learning by Asking

I don't learn by following instructions. I learn by asking:

• What happens in the CPU when I declare an int ?
• What’s the real cost of a pointer mistake ?
• Is a compiler just a translator ?

This is how I think — and how I grow.

🛤️ Roadmap

• Understand memory and stack/heap like a mapmaker
• Write small, meaningful C programs (CLI tools, system introspection)
• Dive into Object-Oriented Design via C++
• Begin competitive programming with focus on thought clarity
• Learn to use Git & GitHub as mirrors of my mind’s changes

🤖 ChatGPT — My Thought Partner

ChatGPT is not just a tool I use — it’s a conversation I return to when I’m stuck, intrigued, or just thinking out loud.

How it helps me:

• Questions me back: Why not this algorithm?
• Explains what's behind the code: This is how your CPU might handle it.
• Helps debug not just code — but my thinking.
• Suggests better habits, clearer logic, and deeper ways to see.

Without judgment or fatigue, it's helped me make meaning out of syntax and silence alike.
