Hi everyone! Discovered this website not too long ago from twitter, so I guess I'm late to the party.
My name is Ashwin, I'm 26 years old and I've been working as a full-stack software engineer with startups in India. I've also been dabbling with quite a bit of Machine Learning / Deep Learning as well. My interests (in no particular order) include programming, user experience, AI, fitness, and astronomy, so if you like these, please hit me up. :)
I had a very long career break -since 2017 - and I just started working again couple of months ago - that's almost like two years! Although I feel like I could have optimised my schedule and could have been even more productive, this break was perhaps the best decision I ever made for myself! ;) Got into teaching, writing and a whole lot of activities. I've been an active member of communities like freeCodeCamp, Code Like A Girl, and Towards Data Science - I write for these publications and also do a lot of editing work - so if you want to exchange any kind of writing tips, feel free to holler at me!
My goal is to eventually switch from full stack into something that's completely data science / deep learning oriented. But as it turns out, it's a whole lot harder than it looks like! I did however manage to do lots of side projects and write blog posts along the way - medium.com/@booleanhunter
The most important thing that I have learnt, after working in extremely fast-paced environments before -
It's super-important to take time to have a balanced lifestyle and indulge in things that aren't related to software - like art, music, or fitness!
I'm curious to hear from y'all as to what are your favourite past-times / activities that you do?
P.S: I'm going to take time and read through all the awesome posts in this welcome thread, and see all the book recommendations. :D
