Hey, I’m Aseem!
Me in 3 bullet points
- I’m a software engineer/indie maker trying to reach ramen profitability with my projects while traveling the world
- I have degrees in Finance and Software Engineering from Monash University
- My ultimate life purpose is to maximize my impact on the world (by building a meaningful business in India)
Fact about me – Aseem (pronounced uh-seem) is a Hindu name meaning limitless (works pretty well as a personal brand too)
