Carleton University
Specialised in International Relatinions
CTO / Co-Founder Exampro
Ashwin's commitment to self-study and utilizing the technical knowledge base of our senior team took him from knowing little about AWS and Ruby on Rails straight out of Lighthouse bootcamp to being a full-stack developer with cloud skills in a matter of 3 months. Adding another layer of value was his pre-existing entrepreneurial background where the cross-domain of BizDev and Developement helped us secure strategic partnerships for ExamPro. Ashwin used the ExamPro platform to secure AWS Certification, he kick-started our acceptance and unit tests and integrated it into our CI/CD, started converting our static from-end to React + Redux, refined our AWS digital content, categorized and reviewed hundreds of AWS exam questions, provisioned and deployed EC2 instaces at autoscaling and load balacing. Q/A both our mobile and desktop web-application and with little to no instruction constructed AWS paid workshops.
Some kind words from folks I worked with over the years: vice presidents, team leads, fellow devs, designers, managers, etc.
