ArnavAngarkar

Full Stack Developer & AI/ML Engineer

I build innovative solutions at the intersection of web development and artificial intelligence. From dynamic web applications to ML-powered systems, I bring ideas to life with clean code and cutting-edge technology.

About Me

Hi! I'm Arnav Amit Angarkar, a passionate Computer Science undergrad at IIIT Dharwad. I love building things that matter—whether it's automating drones for ISRO, deploying ML models at IISc, or creating web apps for students. I thrive at the intersection of AI, software engineering, and real-world impact.

My journey has taken me from hackathons and open-source bug bounties to research internships and startup projects. I enjoy working on challenging problems, collaborating with diverse teams, and learning new technologies every day.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me leading on the basketball court, organizing events, or exploring the latest in AI and cloud tech.
