Hello There!

Hi, I'm Yashwanth Kotha, though most people call me Yash. I’m originally from India, and after high school, I moved to the United States, where I completed my bachelor's in software engineering. These days, I’m diving deep into deploying machine learning models across distributed systems like SLURM and Kubernetes, which I find both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

I’m also a big fan of road trips, especially exploring the diverse landscapes of our national parks—I’ve traveled to 42 states so far, and I’m always ready for more! Nature and hiking are my go-to escapes, and when I’m home, I love cooking and getting lost in a good book. Recently, I finished the biographies of Elon Musk and Steve Jobs and am on the hunt for my next great read. I also practice daily meditation—it’s my way of staying grounded and clear-headed in a fast-paced world.
