Open to 2025–26 SWE internships

Bhinu Santosh

Aspiring Software Engineer • CS + DS @ UW–Madison

I build fast, reliable software with a soft spot for AI, clean backends, and UIs that don't fight you. I’m currently focused on backend systems, data pipelines, and machine learning integrations. (Yes, I commit code before coffee. Questionable life choice; great throughput.)

About

I like turning ambiguous problems into shipped products. Recent work: authentication, rate‑limiting, and data/AI plumbing on Azure. I aim for thoughtful UX, clean architecture, and feedback loops faster than a comet on espresso.
