About

I'm Krrish Rastogi — a B.Tech student at BIT Mesra specialising in Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. I build backends, ship open-source contributions, and take on competitive programming as a sport.

My work spans real-time systems (WebSockets, event queues), AI/GenAI pipelines, and full-stack web apps. I've interned as a Software Engineer, contributed to a United Nations open-source project, and placed nationally in some of India's toughest hackathons.

Outside engineering, I'm a Student Alumni Relations Coordinator at BIT Mesra — connecting students with 75+ industry professionals and building mentorship pipelines. When I'm not doing any of that, I'm probably solving problems on LeetCode or drinking chai.
