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, with a CGPA of 7.89/10. Focused work in algorithms, data structures, databases, and systems gave me a strong computer science foundation.
Professional Experience
Spent 3 years at Nuclei, growing from intern to Software Engineer. Built backend and microservices for banking applications and led development of FedMobile, a mobile banking product used by millions.
Career Break & Entrepreneurship
In 2023, I took a planned career break to explore and build. I travelled across India, co-founded Groky (an AI tool for developers), launched an e-commerce store, and shipped freelance projects like Dehla Pakad and ShuoHanyu. This phase deepened my understanding of AI, product thinking, and what I want to research.
Next Chapter
FEB 2026From February 2026, I'll start my Master of Science (Research) in Computer Science at the University of Waikato. I want to work on AI and machine learning for healthcare, improving diagnosis and patient care, and I'm actively looking for opportunities in New Zealand through full-time roles, internships, or research assistantships.
