About

A little about me.

I’m Ashwin, a developer from Bengaluru. I care about free and open-source software and about access to quality education — most of what I build comes back to one of those two.

What I care about

I’m a developer from Bengaluru, India. I care about free and open-source software and access to quality education for everyone. A lot of my work comes back to those ideas: giving people tools they can understand, use, and maintain.

Education

My background brings together computer science, mathematics, statistics, and data science.

Program Institution/Board %/CGPA Year
M. Sc. (Data Science) Chanakya University (SoMNS), Bengaluru 9.5/10 2023 - 2025
B. S. (Data Science and Applications) Indian Institute of Technology Madras, Chennai 7.7/10 2021 - 2025
B. Sc. (Comp. Sci., Math & Stats) Kristu Jayanti College, Bengaluru 8.02/10 2020 - 2023
Higher Secondary Education St. Claret PU College, Bengaluru 79% 2018 - 2020
Secondary Education Triveni Public School (CISCE) 84% 2017 - 2018

I pursued IIT Madras’ B.S. alongside my other degrees, completing my B.S. and M.Sc. in 2025.

Balancing two degrees taught me to work consistently and make room for both focused study and personal projects.

Outside of engineering

I’ve played the piano for a significant part of my life and am formally trained in Western classical music. I enjoy learning beyond my own field. Some of the subjects that have caught my interest are:

  • Welsh History
  • Philosophy (Specifically Nihilism and Absurdism)
  • Hindu (and Indian) Knowledge Systems
  • Buddhist and Christian teachings

Some of my favourite YouTube Channels are:

  1. 3blue1brown
  2. Pursuit of Wonder
  3. Low Level Learning
  4. LinusTechTips
  5. Sayan Ghosh

I’m always happy to exchange ideas, share what I’ve learned, or hear about something new.
