Akshat Kumar

I’m a CS undergrad at BITS Pilani (2027) focused on production Machine Learning deployments serving 500+ users, with ML outputs adopted in 2 government policy briefs and Rs.1Cr+ in cross-functional outcomes.

I bring a track record across AI engineering, product management, data analytics, and backend development—comfortable owning work end-to-end across all four tracks. In product, I ran GTM across 7 colleges, drove 1,200+ app installs in 6 weeks, and owned full-funnel analytics like D7 user retention (38%) via Google Analytics 4. In leadership, as Director, Entrepreneurship Cell, I secured Rs.1Cr+ in sponsorships (3× YoY growth), managed 40+ members with sprint cadence/backlog tracking, and delivered E-Summit for 2,000+ attendees with Rs.2Cr+ in pitch-floor funding commitments.

In research and engineering, I built Python ETL pipelines on 80,000+ government records, automated anomaly detection (↓60% cleaning time), fine-tuned XGBoost (AUC 0.71→0.86) with SHAP interpretability, and contributed to outputs adopted in national policy briefs. On the build side, my CampusQuery RAG system (LangChain + OpenAI + MongoDB + FastAPI + React) reduced document lookup from ~15min to <30sec for 500+ users, and I’ve also shipped drift-aware ML pipelines and deployed NAS frameworks on AWS EC2.
