Resume

Ashwin V.

I'm a backend engineer who turns real-world chaos into clean, scalable systems — built on solid fundamentals, relentless curiosity, and the occasional debugging breakdown. I craft AI that makes sense, and code that doesn't crash when it matters. Let's build something that actually works.

Experience

Research Intern

Computational Imaging Lab, IIT Madras

May 2026 - Present
Debugged and restored 5+ unmaintained research codebases with broken dependencies, deprecated CUDA/API calls, and missing configs to reproduce published lensless imaging baselines. Implemented a forward lensless measurement simulator supporting multiple PSF geometries to evaluate reconstruction quality under controlled noise and defocus conditions. Independently formulated a novel reconstruction approach for lensless endoscopic imaging; actively building the experimental validation framework prior to publication.

Tech Stack: Python, PyTorch, NumPy, OpenCV, CUDA

Backend Developer Intern

Sudha Gopalakrishnan Brain Centre, IIT Madras

Jul 2025
Resolved 10+ critical 404/500 errors across a 7-service Django microservice ecosystem by tracing URL routing conflicts, serializer mismatches, and view logic failures, cutting 4xx/5xx error rate by 40%. Refactored legacy Django modules and delivered 6+ REST API endpoints with automated tests, preserving backward compatibility across multi-role lab workflows. Decomposed a monolithic legacy API into 3 optimized endpoints, reducing average response time from 2000 ms to 800 ms (60% latency reduction).

Tech Stack: Python, Django, FastMCP, phpMyAdmin
