👋

Hey! I'm Ashwin.
A Software Engineer
with around 3 years of experience in
Go, AWS & Microservices Stack.

About

Hey, I’m Ashwin – a growth-stage engineer who understands the business behind the code. With a passion for building resilient and scalable software systems, I specialize in designing, architecting, and developing cloud-native solutions that drive impact. Whether it’s fintech products handling millions of daily transactions or microservices architecture powering internet-scale platforms, I thrive in dynamic environments, working closely with engineers, product owners, and guilds to bring ideas to life.

What I Do
I’m not just about writing code – I’m about solving problems and delivering value. My approach goes beyond the technical, focusing on the business goals behind every project. I bring my expertise in distributed systems, cloud engineering, and back-end development to craft solutions that are as effective as they are efficient.

I know that great software doesn’t happen in isolation. It’s about collaboration, ownership, and understanding how to communicate across teams. Fluent in English and German, I bridge cultural and geographical divides, ensuring that cross-functional teams stay aligned and on track.

Beyond the Code
I’m a strong believer in taking ownership, not just of my projects but of my growth as well. Self-sufficiency and continuous learning are at the core of my work ethic. When I’m not coding, I’m often busy with other meaningful pursuits like event moderation, crafting robust documentation, or delivering presentations that make complex topics clear and engaging.

Wellness is a daily commitment for me, and I’ve found that a balanced approach keeps me grounded. Workouts, mindfulness, walking, and staying hydrated are part of my routine. I stay connected to my roots, drawing strength from my Tamil heritage, and music is always there – whether it’s lofi beats for focus or Tamil tracks for soulful connection.
