    About

    I'm Ashvin, 27, born and raised in Sarawak, Malaysia, now based in Kuala Lumpur. I'm Malaysian with Indian heritage; my grandparents came to Sarawak from Kerala, and that family history still shapes a lot of how I think.

    The thread running through my life has been education, social mobility, and progress. I grew up around people who treated learning as a way to change the trajectory of a family, a community, and eventually a region.

    That's why I'm drawn to building tools, teaching what I learn, and sharing the process publicly.
