ABOUT ME
ASHVIN ROKADE — Full-stack developer with ~3 years of industry experience
and a growing focus on AI and research-driven systems
Education
I earned my Bachelor of Engineering in Computer Science from IET DAVV, Indore, graduating with a CGPA of 7.89/10. My studies covered core areas like algorithms, data structures, database systems, and system design, giving me a strong foundation in computer science principles.
Professional Experience
I worked at Nuclei from 2020 to 2023, starting as an intern and growing into a Software Engineer. I built backend systems for banking applications, worked with microservices, and improved system performance. I also led development for FedMobile, a product serving millions of users.
Career Break & Entrepreneurship
In 2023, I took a career break to explore new ideas and grow as a person. I traveled across India, co-founded Groky (an AI tool for developers), and launched an e-commerce store. I also built freelance projects like Dehla Pakad and ShuoHanyu. This time helped me learn about AI, product development, and confirmed my goal to pursue research in computer science.
Next Chapter
FEB 2026I'm starting my Master of Science (Research) in Computer Science at the University of Waikato in February 2026. I want to research AI and machine learning for healthcare—using technology to improve medical diagnosis and patient care. I'm looking for opportunities in New Zealand where I can work and contribute to research, whether through full-time jobs, internships, or research assistant roles.
