Hey, I'm Akhil

A CS student @ Cornell and incoming SWE Intern @ Meta.

Interested in infrastructure, ML systems, and applied AI. I've built production RAG systems, including a campus-scale energy anomaly detection system and an enterprise platform at Penske for 20k+ employees.

At Cornell, I am a technical lead working on backend and infrastructure at Hack4Impact and previously contributed to sustainability-focused engineering projects.
