Hi, I'm Ashwin/Shanwis! 👋

I'm a software developer and tech enthusiast passionate about building and exploring new technologies. I'm currently diving deep into Quantum Computing, High-Performance Computing (HPC), AI, and IoT. I'm also deeply interested in homelabs, self-hosted infrastructure, and Linux systems administration.

I'm always open to collaborating on interesting projects or discussing new ideas.
