Ishan Bansal (iy4vet)

Hi there! I'm Ishan, currently navigating the exciting intersection of Computer Science and Natural Sciences at IIIT Hyderabad. My curiosity drives me to explore various domains, from the intricacies of code to the vastness of the skies.

Interests:

• Music: I'm passionate about music, particularly the acoustic guitar. I've achieved Trinity Grade 6 certification with merit and earned an A in IGCSE Music.
• Gaming: I enjoy casual gaming, diving into worlds like Minecraft (where I also hosted my own servers with BungeeCord and plugins like Multiverse and WorldEdit), exploring infinite worlds in No Man's Sky, and experiencing realistic physics in BeamNG.drive and X-Plane.
• Coding: Beyond academics, I love building things. Key projects include a Python application for managing local Minecraft servers via Discord and an add-on for the X-Plane flight simulator. I also frequently write small Python scripts to automate everyday tasks.
• Reading: My reading list is quite diverse, spanning fiction favourites like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, insightful non-fiction such as 'Never Split the Difference', and classic comics like Tintin and Calvin and Hobbes.
• Aviation: I have a strong fascination for aviation, which manifests in plane spotting and engaging with realistic flight simulation using X-Plane by Laminar Research.
