Day2: I'm giving myself 100 days to land a job in Europe as a Python or Data Engineer.

I was the second person to walk through that door. No processes. No documentation. No senior to ask. Just a founder, a laptop, and a company that needed to start earning money before it ran out of runway.

I was 21. I had just finished my degree in Information Technology. I did not know what I did not know. Over the next 3 years and 9 months, I found out. I built the Python department from nothing. Found the first international client. Delivered the first project. Hired the first team member. I learned to scope work for clients who did not know what they wanted. I learned to fix pipelines that broke at 3am before client deadlines. I learned that ownership is not a job title. It is a decision you make every morning.

By the time I left I was Team Lead, running web scraping and data analysis projects for clients across the US, UK and Europe. Then I applied for a Master’s in Business Intelligence in Sweden. Got in. Packed up and moved continents.

From the second employee of a startup in Gujrat to a data engineer in Europe. One deliberate step at a time. That is the story behind the CV.

If you’re hiring or know someone who is, I’m available.

Day 2. Let’s go.

Follow along.

Day 3 tomorrow.
