About

Builder based in Melbourne.

I'm Ash, a software engineer based in Melbourne. I came from Kerala in 2022 to do my Master's at Monash and ended up building things I'm genuinely proud of. My work covers full-stack web development and cloud infrastructure, two areas that overlap more than most people expect.

Right now I'm interning at Remote King Australia, working on a production Next.js e-commerce platform, while building JobHunt on the side. JobHunt is an AI-powered tool that helps job seekers tailor their applications without spending hours on each one.
