Master's Student — DS & AI
University of Sydney

Hi! I'm Aakash,

an early-career technologist who enjoys turning messy problems into structured solutions. My interests sit at the intersection of AI, data, and product-building, especially when the work leads to clearer decisions, better user understanding, or more capable digital tools.

I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science & AI at the University of Sydney after completing my B.Tech in CSE with a specialization in AI & ML. My recent work includes a client-facing financial analysis capstone, a production-style RAG assistant, IEEE-style research papers, and technical program coordination experience.

Role

Program Coordinator

At ShadowFox, I supported a virtual internship program by helping coordinate student onboarding, mentor alignment, communication, and learning flow across project-based cohorts. The role strengthened my skills in program operations, technical communication, student support, and presenting emerging topics such as AI/ML, Blockchain, and Data Analytics in a structured learning environment.

Key Contributions

  • Collaborated with the team to provide students with practical, project-based experience through a virtual internship program
  • Coordinated student onboarding, mentor allocation, and task progression to support structured learning throughout the internship cycle
  • Conducted seminars on Blockchain, AI/ML, and Data Analytics to broaden student technical exposure
  • Introduced a milestone-based reward initiative to improve participation, completion, and engagement within the program
