Hey there! 👋 I'm Dhruv Thakar, a passionate Computer Science student at Ontario Tech University.
I'm on a mission to turn complex problems into elegant solutions through code. Whether it's building responsive web applications, designing efficient algorithms, or tinkering with hardware projects, I love the challenge of creating technology that makes a difference.
My journey in tech started with curiosity and has evolved into a deep passion for full-stack development, data structures, and embedded systems. I thrive in collaborative environments and enjoy participating in hackathons, where I can combine creativity with technical skills.
"I believe that technology should be accessible, innovative, and impactful. Every line of code is an opportunity to create something meaningful."
