H.NaveenKumar (born 25 November 2005) is an Indian student, software developer, and competitive programmer. He is currently studying at NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technology (NIAT), where he is focused on full-stack web development, problem-solving using data structures and algorithms, and building scalable software systems.

Naveen was born and raised in Adoni, a city in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh. He completed his early education up to 10th grade at Vindhya Sree EM High School, Adoni. Afterward, he moved to Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, for his intermediate education (+2) at Abacus International Montessorie School (CBSE), where he was introduced to computer science—a subject that would become a defining passion in his academic and professional journey. Scoring 95 marks in Computer Science in his board exams, Naveen's interest in programming and technology solidified during this time.

Known for developing practical, real-world projects such as a lost-and-found platform, a school management system, and Razorpay-integrated solutions using Django, Naveen continues to pursue software development with dedication and strategic intent.

His technical skills span Python, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, Node.js, MongoDB, Git, REST APIs, and Power BI. He actively participates in coding platforms like LeetCode and Codeforces to sharpen his algorithmic thinking.

Naveen aspires to work at MAANG/FAANG companies, where he can contribute to solving high-impact problems at scale and grow as a world-class software engineer.

Early Life and Education

[edit]

Naveen completed his primary and secondary education up to 10th grade at Vindhya Sree EM High School, Adoni, Andhra Pradesh. During this time, he maintained a consistent academic record and built a strong academic foundation.

For his intermediate education (+2), he moved to Tiruppur, Tamil Nadu, and enrolled at Abacus International Montessorie School (CBSE). Alongside his studies, Naveen actively participated in various inter-school sports competitions, including javelin throw and other track and field events, showcasing a well-rounded personality with a blend of academic and extracurricular strengths.

It was during this phase that he was introduced to computer science, a subject that captivated his interest. His teacher, Ashwin Sir, played a pivotal role in sparking and nurturing this passion. Under his mentorship, Naveen explored programming fundamentals and scored an impressive 95 marks in Computer Science in the board examination.

Currently, Naveen is pursuing a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree from BITS Pilani,[1] alongside a 4-year intensive tech skills program at NxtWave Institute of Advanced Technology (NIAT).[2] This dual-track academic path allows him to gain strong theoretical grounding from BITS while acquiring hands-on, industry-relevant skills from NIAT in areas like full-stack development, software engineering, and modern programming practices.
