אביאסף
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is אביאסף. A Tanakh name: an Israelite (first in Exodus 6:24; 1 mention in the Tanakh). Meaning, per Strong’s dictionary (1890): “father of gathering”. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 154 — the same as the Torah word נקד, “speckled”. That number points to Torah page 154 of 354 — in the portion Vayakhel. What that portion is about: The Sabbath comes before the work on the Sanctuary; the people bring more than enough; Bezalel and the craftsmen build the Tabernacle. The verse that begins with the first letter of your name and ends with the last is Exodus 23:27. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.

Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 874.
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 19. A Torah word with the same number is גוי — “nation” (Genesis 10:5).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 46. A Torah word with the same number is מאה — “hundred” (Genesis 5:3).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 720. A Torah word with the same number is ישית — “he will set” (Genesis 46:4).
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 10106.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 259. A Torah word with the same number is ראובן — “Reuben, son of Jacob” (Genesis 29:32).
The letters that come out are תשמתחו — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 1154.
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 855. A Torah word with the same number is אמתחתו — “his sack” (Genesis 42:27).

The verse of your name
There is a custom: at the end of the prayer one says a Torah verse that begins with the first letter of one's name and ends with its last. For אביאסף these are א and פ. The Pentateuch has exactly one such verse — Exodus 23:27:
את אימתי אשלח לפניך והמתי את כל העם אשר תבא בהם ונתתי את כל איביך אליך ערף
This is from the portion Mishpatim. What it is about: Laws of the servant, damages, theft and pledges; “an eye for an eye” as compensation; the sabbatical year; “we will do and we will hear”.
Any name written in Hebrew letters is a number: אביאסף = 154. And every date has a number of its own. There is a day in the year when the two coincide.
