About me
Hi, I'm Ashish Kumar, a passionate Computer Science student at Arizona State University with a strong foundation in Java, C/C++, and software engineering. I love turning ideas into impactful solutions through clean code, intuitive design, and problem-solving skills.
With hands-on experience in data analysis and academic projects in operating systems, software engineering, and theoretical CS, I'm eager to contribute to real-world tech challenges. Beyond coding, I bring teamwork, curiosity, and a drive for continuous learning to every opportunity.
What i'm doing
-
Full-Stack Development
I design and build web apps from the ground up — creating clean, responsive interfaces and reliable back-end APIs. I work with React, Node.js, FastAPI/Flask, and modern deployment workflows.
-
Cloud & DevOps
Dockerized apps, GitHub Actions CI/CD, deployments on AWS (EC2/RDS/S3/IAM) with basic observability.
-
Mobile apps
Professional development of applications for iOS and Android. I also build fun little apps for myself to play around with new tech.
-
Photography
Capturing moments through creative composition and natural light — from landscapes to candid portraits.

Hackathon Winner - SKR Tech Challenge 2024
Secured 1st place at the Tech Challenge 2024, developing a smart course-planning and advising platform in just 36 hours.
Led a 4-member team to victory at the SKR Tech Challenge 2024, a state-hosted hackathon focused on solving state-hosted and community technology problems.
We built a smart course-planning and advising web platform using React, Node.js/Express, and MongoDB. The tool analyzed local state students' degree progress, prerequisite chains, and class availability to recommend optimal schedules and reduce time-to-graduation. It included authentication via Firebase, data visualization with D3.js, and a responsive UI.
🏆 Achievements: 1st Place and recognition from the State-Community panel, with the project featured on the event’s recap page.

The Sixth Side - 3D Rubik's Cube Web App
Interactive 3D Rubik's Cube built with JavaScript + Three.js. Smooth animations, gesture controls, and custom themes.
Designed and developed a browser-based 3D Rubik's Cube game using JavaScript and Three.js. Users can rotate the cube naturally with drag gestures, choose sizes from 2x2x2 to 5x5x5, customize themes and speed, and track solve stats.
Built with a responsive UI and smooth animations for an intuitive gaming experience. Deployed as a fully static site on GitHub Pages.
Teaching Assistant & Mentor - Arizona State University
Guided 200+ peers as a Teaching Assistant for core CS courses, mentoring students in programming and project work.
Served as a Teaching Assistant / Grader for Computer Science courses, supporting 200+ students by clarifying complex concepts, reviewing assignments, and providing feedback to help improve coding practices.
Mentored peers on debugging, design patterns, and project architecture — strengthening my own technical depth while improving communication and leadership skills.
Helped maintain high course engagement and built positive relationships between faculty and students.
Hackathon Winner - Smart Healthcare Challenge 2024
Led a 4-member team to victory at the Smart Healthcare Challenge 2024, competing against 120+ teams from universities and startups across the U.S.
In just 36 hours, we designed and deployed an AI-powered patient triage and monitoring platform using React, FastAPI, TensorFlow, and AWS. The system automatically prioritized critical cases, integrated wearable health data, and delivered real-time dashboards for clinicians.
🏆 Achievements: 1st Place, awarded a $10,000 prize, and recognition on the hackathon's official site by judges from AWS and Mayo Clinic.
