I'm Ashwin Chhetri, a software engineer working at
Ashoka Trust for Research in Ecology and the Environment (ATREE), Eastern Himalaya β Northeast India Office.
π± I work at the intersection of software engineering, biodiversity informatics, and ecological data management, building tools that help researchers and conservationists make sense of complex data.
I believe every challenge is an opportunity to learn, and every solution is a stepping stone towards meaningful impact.
- Designing biodiversity monitoring apps for long-term ecological data collection (protocol-driven, field-ready).
- Building multi-tenancy Laravel + Vue applications for project-level data management.
- Developing species distribution modeling portals (MaxEnt / ensemble models) to support forest restoration in the Himalayas.
- Creating asset management systems for research and field operations.
- Exploring citizen science workflows with platforms like iNaturalist, mWater, and GBIF.
- Machine Learning & Deep Learning (with a focus on ecological data applications).
- Cloud-native architectures for scalable environmental data systems.
- Advanced geospatial tools for conservation.
- Databases & Data Pipelines (SQLite, PostgreSQL, DuckDB, multi-tenancy strategies).
- Biodiversity Informatics (species monitoring, ecological modeling, citizen science).
- Cloud & DevOps (AWS certified, Docker, CI/CD, scalable APIs).
- Cross-platform apps with Flutter and Vue.js.
I play piano and love traveling to mountains π β both feed into my coding creativity.
