He builds reliable, performance-focused software and machine-learning systems for consequential scientific, aerospace, and healthcare applications. Akash is strongest in systems optimization, AI/ML, bioinformatics, distributed data pipelines, and turning research models into deployable tools. At the Kendziorski Lab, Akash reduced a single-cell RNA-sequencing pipeline from 80 to 27 minutes on identical hardware without changing model outputs, supporting reproducible glioblastoma gene-therapy research. He also built TransferAgent, an LLM literature-synthesis module that returns structured validity judgments across roughly 500 clinical genomics papers, and co-authored the resulting glioblastoma manuscript. During two software engineering internships at Leidos, Akash developed an offline ATAK Android plugin that maps spoken field reports in about 10 seconds, a satellite scheduler that cleared hundreds of constraint violations per cycle across thousands of satellites, and a Kafka-to-MongoDB telemetry pipeline handling thousands of events per second. Earlier research includes first-author publication of a peer-reviewed skin-cancer imaging study using approximately 70,000 dermoscopic images and 95% accuracy, as well as miRNA-based cancer detection research. He is seeking Summer 2027 software engineering and ML internships where correctness matters. ## Services - Artificial Intelligence \(AI\) - C# - Object-Oriented Programming \(OOP\) - Deep Learning - JavaScript -
