APR — JUL 2022AccentureSoftware Engineering Intern+
Built a modular, event-driven Java virtual pet app tested by 12 users. Used mentor feedback and iterative development to refine the project and ship on schedule.
03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE CODEEngineer by day.
Engineer by day.
Explorer, always.
I’m Vikranth, a Computer Science and Engineering student at The Ohio State University, graduating in May 2028. I’m interested in what happens when AI meets a real human problem. At Ohio State, I’ve taken part in BDAA, HackAI, Data I/O, and Show OHI/O.
Outside of building things, I love getting lost in a good game. Zelda is my favorite series, with plenty of time for Elden Ring, Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3, and CoD Zombies, too.
