Hello, my name is

Akash Khatri

Full Stack Developer

I'm currently working on my Master's in Computer Science at the University of Utah, focusing on full-stack development and applied AI. I love building things that are both technically solid and actually useful to people. Currently, I'm leading development on a project called InsightSort; it's a system that uses large language models and embedding techniques to help people discover meaningful ways to explore their data. It's the kind of work that gets me excited because it sits right at the intersection of machine learning, language understanding, and everyday usability. I'm equally comfortable working with the MERN stack for web apps or setting up scalable systems with AWS and Docker. What drives me most is solving problems that connect data, systems, and people in ways that actually make sense in the real world. I think that's where technology truly shines.
