Hey there :)

This is my first day on DEV, and I’ve found it to be a really interesting place with a great community.

I just completed my Bachelor's degree and am currently focused on improving my understanding of the fundamentals. I noticed that my thinking process became less efficient due to the use of AI in my university work, especially compared to how I approached my studies during my first year.

So I started with DSA. I'm working through the Neetcode 150 challenges, which have been super helpful! I also started reading this fantastic book called **"Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People" by Aditya Y. Bhargava**. So far, it's been a great experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s new to DSA or anyone who needs a refresher.

If you have any suggestions for books or anything else, please drop them below.

Happy coding everyone!( •̀ ω •́ )✧
