About Me
Hey! I'm Srikar Veluvali, currently pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Information Technology at Keshav Memorial Institute of Technology with a CGPA of 9.67.
I'm currently a Research Intern at Microsoft in Bengaluru. Previously, I was an HPC Software Engineering Intern at DRDL (DRDO).
I've built projects like Astor AI, a medical chatbot fine-tuned on Llama 3 with Retrieval-Augmented Generation achieving 400+ downloads, and a Heart Health Web App using the MERN stack and machine learning with Google's Gemini AI for personalized plans, nominated for the People's Choice Award in the Google Gemini API Developer Competition.
When I'm not coding or tinkering with tech, I enjoy solving problems on Leetcode (>800 problems, rating 1713) or exploring the latest in generative AI.
