Hey! I'm Ashwin.
A Software Engineer
with around 3 years of experience in
Go, AWS & Microservices Stack.
About
A growth stage engineer who understands the business behind the code, bringing expertise in designing, architecting and developing software systems. I thrive in dynamic environments, working effectively with engineers, guilds and product owners to build resilient, scalable services and infrastructure.
Beyond coding, my strengths lie in event moderation, robust documentation, effective presentation and a strong drive for self-sufficiency and ownership. Fluent in both English and German, I connect & collaborate with cross-functional teams across diverse cultures and geographies.
Wellness is a daily commitment for me, focusing on workouts, mindfulness, walking and staying hydrated. This blend of personal growth, strong family ties, and a deep connection to my Tamil heritage defines who I am. Music, whether it's lofi beats for focus or Tamil tracks for soulful connection, is my constant companion.
I'm always on the lookout for opportunities to connect and collaborate. Feel free to reach out!
