Days 16-31 of HCode: Ugadi, Lab Internals, Frontend Done, and the Next Phase

Hey guys, this is a combined update for Days 16 to 31 of HCode.

The last 15 days were my own battle of improvement and life progress.

Not every day had a flashy release, but every day moved me forward.

Family Time + Festival Reset

After a long time, I went back home and got to enjoy Ugadi with my family.

I also attended family events and genuinely took a mental reset.

That short time at home gave me a lot of energy and clarity.

Then I came back to Hyderabad quickly because lab internals week was waiting.

I completed my lab internals over the week.

It was hectic, but I handled the pace and got through all the experiments and submissions.

Along with that, I also competed in some online events as self-assignment practice.

That balance of academics + self-practice was intense, but useful.

Big project update:

HCode frontend is now fully done.

What is left is backend integration, and that is the next major focus.

I also got fresh ideas for new features and planned the next few months around job/intern preparation while continuing to build.

I gave my shot and submitted for VibeCon Round 2.

I also built a project for the Feuji Hackathon at T-Hub and submitted it.

At the same time, I tried my shot at the Meta x Hugging Face OpenEnv Hackathon and completed the submission as strongly as possible.

Funny update: all these hackathon results are expected on April 10.

Lol. One date, many outcomes. Let us hope for the best.

I planned to upgrade VoidDrop to Stage 3.

I also started my Cybersecurity X DSA training.

Lol, this combo is tough, but I know it will pay off.

To refresh my hacking memory, I went back to basics and redid my experiments from the start.

That process reminded me how much fundamentals matter.

Also, quick milestone: I have submitted around 20 bugs on HackerOne this year.

I also regret missing HackWithInfy and JPMC opportunities.

Main reason: lack of consistent DSA practice and GPA(8.0).

I came from a cybersecurity-heavy preparation style, so DSA was not my strongest lane for a long time.

But for jobs and internships, DSA is now a real factor and obstacle, so I had to start and take it seriously.

On the certification side, I completed Claude Academy tracks to become a better Claude AI user and developer.

These 15 days were not about one viral moment.

They were about discipline, consistency, and steady progress across life, college, and building.

Learning, enjoying moments, and still moving forward.

I am trying to become my best version and stay as open in public as possible while I build.

That is the phase right now.

Days 16 to 31 were a mix of family, exams, project momentum, and skill grind.

Frontend done. Backend next.

Still building. Still improving.
