Hi, I’m Ashna! 👋 I study CS and Philosophy at Northeastern and I'm currently focusing on my passions for Android development, user-focused design and software, and front-end development! I've been finding Kotlin and Jetpack Compose really clever and fun to use

I’m passionate about diversity in computing and breaking negative stigmas in the world of tech. I’ve cultivated multiple online CS communities at my university that help other students to learn and grow together

I love pushing myself out of the comfort zone as a programmer, so although I have a background mainly in Android and web development, I’m open to working with any new technologies to grow with (recently started learning some Rust). Above all, I prioritize clean, well-documented code design and love to work with others on new projects.

Also, reach out if you also like mechanical keyboards, Nietzsche, indie games (or Elden Ring/Sekiro/Skyrim mods), or anything music/food/travel related, would love to talk!
