SATWIK TRIPATHI

It started with curiosity. I’ve always been the kind of person who asks “why” a little too much and thinks about things a little too deeply — basically an overthinker by default. Whether it’s figuring out how a website works, obsessing over tiny design details, or reimagining how something could be better, I naturally get pulled into ideas and keep digging. That curiosity slowly turned into building — experimenting with code, creating interfaces, and trying to make digital experiences feel alive rather than static. I’m especially drawn to things with motion, interaction, and personality — stuff that feels less like software and more like an experience.

A lot of my ideas show up late at night. Insomnia has weirdly become part of my creative process — some people sleep, I redesign things in my head at 2AM. I overthink layouts, interactions, random life decisions… pretty much everything. But honestly, that overthinking is also where a lot of creativity comes from. Outside coding, I’m a complete movie holic — I love stories, visuals, soundtracks, scenes that stay in your head. Films inspire how I think about emotion and atmosphere even in digital work. And games have always been a huge part of me too — not just playing them, but loving the worlds, mechanics, storytelling, and immersion they create.

Right now I’m a second-year CSE student exploring the space between development, design, and experimentation. I like building things that feel playful, immersive and a little unexpected. Still learning, still breaking things, still figuring stuff out — usually while juggling too many ideas, too many tabs open, and too little sleep. Overthinker, insomniac, movie addict, gamer… and always building something.
