About Me

My Story

I’m Avin, 61, with a non-science, non-tech Masters in Political Science and International Relations. And, the above one is not my face.

The Story behind Atsixty

So, what could I do at sixty? Well, I self-learnt HTML, CSS, JS, SQL, PHP, WordPress, XAMPP, cPanel, Python, etc. And, tinkered with code bites 🫦

Then on my Android, I dabbled in F-droid -> Termux -> SSH and on my pc, I mastered LAMP + VSC + SSH, Domain + VPS + DNS, SSL, and WP + Child theme + ACF + Hooks through VSC/SSH/Shell prompt

AvinQuiz & PDF-2-Excel

  • Next I devoloped for NEET-PG doctors a Custom Quiz Plugin AvinQuiz on freemium model with differential licences for atsixty.com. This because commercial plugins didn’t meet my requirements without paid subscriptions.
  • Professional-grade ready-to-ship Python script to automate PDF to Excel transformation upgraded till v9.3 was developed as commercial tools like Tabula failed to extract data satisfactorily from a 1300+ page, 27k row, heading and footer on each page and introduction and conclusion pages complex NEET PG results data.
  • So, in a sense, all credit to my doctor daughter.

Why the name Atsixty😌

Because age is not a disclaimer. It is a statement. Essentially a versatile Generalist, alongwith teaching maths, and being involved with manufacturing, I tinker with much at sixty. Numbers matter. Own them.

So, here I’m creating this website with a view to pursuing quality time pass, mental alertness, and self-worth through client projects and through helping not-so-younger lots.

So, Atsixty implies my age but AvinQuiz and PDF Converter created on demand for professional doctors. My daughter my first client.

Results Oriented Growth

Past-60, not eyeing growth rather satisfaction in your eyes.👁👁

Collaboratory Space

The project is collaborative. And, here I’m basically to make a team of passionate people of my age and in fact any age to show their passions and pragmatically solve real world issues. Just to announce, I’ve already teamed up with some – hence, we at home page.
