Hi, I’m Akhil. I’m an AI Engineer and MS student in Applied Machine Learning at the University of Maryland. Before UMD, I was an AI Engineer at Atrium on a Pfizer R&D project (co-authored a peer-reviewed publication in Clinical Trials), and spent three years as an ML Engineer at Tezo in India.
My interests include LLM inference and agent systems, with a focus on building practical understanding through hands-on work.
