SINGH
I build reliable software and contribute to open source.
I'm Ayush, a software developer from Lucknow, India. As an open-source maintainer with The Linux Foundation (OpenPrinting), I investigated desktop UI freezing issues, unblocked event loops with background worker threads, and improved device detection for Ubuntu and Debian users.
I also build custom interpreters in Python, design REST APIs, and develop responsive web applications.
Selected Projects.
