Hello, I’m Aswin. I’m a 23 year old Malayali from Kerala, currently living in Bengaluru. I love to do software engineering, writing, photo-videography, and play music.

I like creating, solving, and working on things and products that people want to use.

I like computers and what is possible with them. At the beginning, I was exclusively interested in systems. But lately, as I got acquainted with other things of the stack and culture, I like almost all parts of it, and been more on the line of “make what people want”, generally and at work. I now primarily work in the app-tier. More can be found on my technical talks and projects page of this website and my Github: @officialcjunior

I like writing, music, art and its aesthetics, especially: photography, filmmaking, pianos, and writing. I put my long writings on this blog, my everyday thoughts on Twitter, and the rest on Instagram. More can be found on my art page of this website and on the following social media pages.
