About meMy Story, so far.
I’m Ashwin, a software developer, newbie open source contributor, and hobbyist game developer. My mission is to be cautiously curious and never stop learning while developing meaningful, efficient and pixel-perfect products, that satisfy my customer's needs as much as they do my own high standard of product quality.
As of now, I am volunteering as an Application Developer at Virginia Tech, while I search for my first big role! Feel free to reach out with any opportunities you're aware of by the way :D. Simultaneously, I am developing personal projects ranging from Web products to 2D game dev, and contributing to open source repositories when I can!
During my Master's, I have worked as a Graduate Assistant at the upcoming Virginia Tech Innovation Campus, and have been instrumental in a lot of the projects and events during my employment.
Prior to coming to the USA for my Master's, I was doing my Bachelor's in Computer Science and Engineering in the University of Mumbai's A.P. Shah Institute of Technology, where I helped my institute's nascent department grow considerably by organizing technical and non-technical events, also assisting my department with securing a national level accreditation for education quality.
Apart from my academic pursuits, I enjoy going on treks, reading, learning new languages and instruments(Spanish and Guitar as of now), gaming, and going for badminton and/or cricket in my free time.
You can find me on LinkedIn where I am rather active, or you can follow me on GitHub to check out my latest contributions and projects!
