Hey, I'm @aswinunni01.

I’m a software engineer who loves working with linux systems, virtualization and hypervisors.

My Background / About Me

In 2022, I completed my graduation from the National Institute of Technology, Calicut. I'm a software engineer with a strong passion for Linux, virtualization technologies, and cloud computing. I've been actively engaged with Oracle Cloud Infrastructure in our Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) division. Within my team, we oversee the hardware, virtualization, and Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) stack that hosts OCI Virtual Machines. Our primary responsibility is to guarantee that OCI customers can run their workloads with minimal disruptions and optimal efficiency.

I am a huge Formula1 enthusiast, I love playing music and writing blogs. I believe that the path to success is making small steps of progress every day. I will keep my blogs short and sweet, with the hope that it helps the reader learn something new as well!
