About

Hi there! I'm Ashwani. I'm a software engineer with more than 3 years of experience, currently working as a Software Engineer at Amazon. I have experience working in Backend, Distributed Systems, and Big Data Platforms. During my Software Engineering career, I have worked with multiple programming languages, libraries, frameworks and technologies such as Java, Go, JavaScript, Python, Kafka, Elasticsearch, Kubernetes and AWS. With a B.Tech in Electrical Engineering from the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology Patna, I have honed my skills across various domains, including Data Structures and Algorithms, Operating Systems, Database Management Systems, Mathematics, Finance, AI, etc. and recently completed 6 years as a programmer. Outside of my professional endeavors, I am deeply passionate about open-source development and competitive programming. I have a strong presence on platforms like GitHub, where I have contributed to projects such as DiceDB. My achievements in competitive programming, including securing a rank of 126 in the ICPC Asia Gwalior-Pune Regionals 2020 and achieving a global rank of 1335 in Google Kickstart Round D 2021, reflect my problem-solving abilities and dedication to continuous learning. As a former Development and Open-Source Coordinator at NJACK, the coding club of IIT Patna, I have mentored aspiring engineers and fostered a culture of innovation and collaboration. I am now seeking opportunities to further expand my expertise, tackle new challenges, and make a meaningful impact in the tech industry. Let's connect to explore how we can collaborate and drive innovation together.
