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 want to build new things to improve the world through engineering or through other creative outputs.
Here are some of my interests:
Computers:
I like computers and what is possible with them. At the beginning, as a freshman at my university, 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.

Everything else
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.

My current favourite and most generalized philosophy of life can summed up in this:
