Aswin Venugopal is a seasoned full-stack software engineer with 10 years of experience building web and enterprise-grade services from frontend UIs to backend APIs. Currently at Ory (through BoxyHQ), he focuses on authentication, SSO, and developer tooling—contributing notable work to open-source projects like BoxyHQ’s SaaS starter kit and Jackson where he modernized Next.js frontends and migrated backend services to TypeScript. His background spans IoT dashboards, real-time visualizations, and infrastructure automation, giving him a practical edge in shipping production systems and integrating auth flows across SPAs. Comfortable across the stack, he pairs frontend polish with backend refactors that improve maintainability and security. Based in Oregon with roots in India, he brings a hybrid of ops-first reliability from earlier infra roles and hands-on product sensibility that surfaces in both UX improvements and API design.
