✦ About
Engineer who likes the unglamorous parts.
I'm Abhiyash, a computer science engineer graduating from Michigan State University in August 2026. I like the unglamorous parts of building software: making a model trustworthy, a dashboard fast, an auth flow correct, a deploy boring.
My senior capstone went into a real coatings plant where an hour of unplanned downtime costs more than a year of my tuition. Building under that constraint, software that someone is actually counting on, is how I like to work, and it's the standard I hold the rest of my projects to.
Lately I'm going deep on applied AI: retrieval, evaluation harnesses, and the engineering around LLMs rather than just the prompts.
