ananya khandelwal

I am an AI-focused software engineer and dual-degree electrical engineering student who builds agentic systems and scalable web applications. I received a $50K Nailwal Fellowship grant and have won multiple hackathons, consistently shipping high-impact prototypes.

My projects include an Agentic Deep Researcher (47.29% on the Deep Research Bench, #2 on the leaderboard), a multi-index Codebase Indexer that reduced index size and build times, and in-sheet AI Spreadsheets that cut context and cost by 80%. I architected multi-agent workflows, backends in Python/Django/FastAPI, and frontends with Next.js and React. I apply embeddings, BM25, vector DBs, and content-addressed indexing to improve retrieval accuracy and relevance.

I've served as CTO and founded consumer-focused products, leading teams to launch and scale user-facing platforms. I seek roles where I can convert research into production-grade AI products, mentor engineers, and drive impactful, user-centered systems.
