Krishang builds intelligent systems spanning LLM integrations, AI agents, automation pipelines, backend tools, data workflows, and secure information handling. His strongest areas include Python, Flask, SQL databases, Docker, AWS, prototyping under ambiguous requirements, and turning user or manager feedback into working systems. At San José State University, Krishang fine-tuned Qwen2.5-VL-7B-Instruct to estimate five transistor parameters from semiconductor images, achieving LoRA mean absolute error within 1.8–6.9% of each parameter’s range on a 200-sample test set. As Co-Founder of GradAchiever, he helped grow an edtech platform 500% to more than 1,000 users in two months, while building automation that retrieves an average of 50 internship and volunteering opportunities daily. His prior work also includes secure genomic-data workflows at TrueNil, construction-data API pipelines at ZentroQ, and a complete backend system for Truno that used agents to read files and identify security issues.
