Kotlur Akhil

I'm a Computer Science and Engineering student specializing in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at SRM Institute of Science and Technology, passionate about building intelligent systems that address real-world challenges. My work sits at the intersection of *AI/ML, Generative AI, and software engineering*. I'm particularly interested in moving beyond model experimentation to building complete, usable products—from developing machine-learning pipelines and integrating AI into applications to designing APIs and connecting models with full-stack systems. I've worked on projects across different problem spaces, including an AI-driven coastal flood prediction platform, an adaptive cognitive attention assessment tool, and a GenAI-powered civic technology platform. These experiences have pushed me to think beyond algorithms and consider system design, practical implementation, reliability, and the people who ultimately use the technology. I believe the best way to learn engineering is to build, experiment, collaborate, and share ideas. Through hackathons and developer communities, I challenge myself to turn ambitious ideas into working solutions and learn from people who approach problems differently. My technical interests include Machine Learning, LLMs and Generative AI, AI agents, backend engineering, and scalable AI-powered applications. I'm always interested in connecting with developers, AI researchers, founders, and builders who are curious about what's possible and motivated to make it happen. If you're working on an interesting problem or building something ambitious, I'd love to connect, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities to collaborate.
