About Ashwak P

I’m Ashwak, a Software Development Engineer with 4 years of experience building scalable, high-performance applications. I have a Master’s in Computer Science from the University of Texas (GPA: 3.8/4.0) and hands-on expertise in full-stack development, cloud computing, and system optimization. I specialize in designing and optimizing microservices using java, Node.js.NET Core, and Spring Boot, ensuring high availability, low latency, and seamless system performance. On the front-end, I work with React, Angular, and Next.js, optimizing hydration, SSR, and lazy loading for a smooth user experience. I have extensive experience with Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, and Redis, implementing indexing, partitioning, and caching strategies to improve query performance by 30%+. I also have a solid background in cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP, deploying applications using Kubernetes, Terraform, and Docker, while automating CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions. I’ve built secure APIs using OAuth2, JWT, and AES encryption and reducing vulnerabilities by 50%. I’ve also worked on event-driven architectures with Kafka and RabbitMQ, optimizing high-throughput applications. I thrive in Agile/Scrum environments, working closely with cross-functional teams to deliver scalable, resilient, and efficient solutions. Whether it’s improving system performance, optimizing cloud infrastructure, or building end-to-end software solutions, I’m always up for a challenge.
