From the classroom to the keyboard

I spent seventeen years teaching Computer Science — first as a Teaching Associate at University College Kurukshetra, then as a Lecturer and Assistant Professor at several colleges, and later teaching school students directly at Wisdom World School, Kurukshetra. In 2018, my wife Anjali and I founded Lucid Point as a coaching institute, teaching Mathematics, Physics, and Coding to students in Kurukshetra.

Somewhere in the last few years, I stopped being satisfied with just teaching how software works, and started building it. I taught myself Java, Spring Boot, and React the way I'd tell any of my own students to learn something hard: slowly, by building real things, and by staying honest about what I didn't understand yet. That shift is still in progress — I'm now working toward a role as a software developer, while Anjali continues to run Lucid Point's coaching work on her own.

This site is what's left when I stopped optimizing for batches and boards, and started writing for whoever happens to encounter an idea for the first time — a child, a student, or an adult rebuilding a career from scratch. It draws on the same instinct behind an ongoing personal essay project of mine, The Question Continues — staying open-ended rather than settling for the tidy answer a syllabus wants.

If you want the fuller history of Lucid Point as a coaching institute, it's kept at the archive page.
