About Me

Hey, I’m Aashik J Krishnan
but online, I go by Aash Gates.

My journey with tech started way back during the Windows Vista days. While most people were trying to avoid errors, I was the kid who got excited figuring them out. That curiosity slowly turned into a passion, and over time, it shaped who I am today.
I started using the name Aash Gates in 2016 in Microsoft Help Groups just to stand out. But it stuck. Now it’s more than a username  it’s become a part of my story.
These days, I’m all about cloud computing, virtualization, networking, and contributing to the open-source world. My GitHub’s seen over 36,000 contributions  not for the flex, but because I genuinely love building and improving things.

One highlight in this journey was when I built a Raspberry Pi–based server for source code control. It got published, won the Best Project Award, and even got funded by the Karnataka State Council for Science & Tech. That project reminded me that small ideas can make a big impact.
When I’m not coding, I’m usually geeking out over new tools, contributing to open-source, or just recharging with some gaming and family time.
