something useful.

I reply to every message — whether it's a full-time opportunity, an internship, a collaboration, or just a quick question about something I've written. The fastest channel is email; the form below works too.

Reach out directly.

Currently based in Union City, NJ (Eastern Time). I'm actively looking for full-time and internship opportunities across Software Engineering, AI/ML Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, Analytics, and Business Analysis — starting mid-2026 for full-time, summer 2026 for internships in the NYC metro area.

If you're hiring, building something interesting, or want to nerd out about systems design, I'd love to hear from you.

Frequently asked

Quick answers to common questions.

What kinds of roles are you open to? +
All of them, honestly — Software Engineer / Developer, AI/ML Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Business Analyst. My background spans backend development (PHP/MySQL, Python, REST APIs), ML (PyTorch, LangChain, scikit-learn), data engineering (Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, Spark), and analytics (SQL, Tableau, Power BI). I'm most excited by roles that let me work across the stack rather than stay in a single lane.
Are you looking for full-time work right now? +
Yes — actively. I graduate from Stevens in May 2026. NYC metro is preferred but I'll happily relocate for the right team.
What about summer 2026 internships? +
Very interested. Looking at SWE, ML, data engineering, and analytics internships for summer 2026 — anywhere in the US. Reach out early if you'd like to chat.
Are you authorized to work in the US? +
Yes, on an F-1 visa with CPT availability during studies and OPT eligibility post-graduation (May 2026). Happy to walk through specifics on a call.
You seem to cover a lot — what's your strongest area? +
Honest answer: my deepest production experience is in data engineering and backend software — that's what I did full-time for 1.5 years at Rajlaxmi, shipping pipelines and REST APIs for 40+ clients. My fastest-growing area is ML/AI through my Stevens coursework and side projects. My most polished skill is probably SQL-based analytics and BI. I can go deep in any one of these, but I thrive most when a role lets me touch several.
Can I see more of your code? +
Of course — the Projects page has highlights across all domains, and my GitHub has more. For production work at Rajlaxmi I can walk you through architecture and decisions in a call (code itself is under NDA).
Do you take on freelance or contract work? +
Limited availability while finishing my MSCS, but I'm open to scoped engagements — backend development, pipeline design, dbt migrations, BI/reporting buildouts, or small ML prototypes. Send me the brief and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm a good fit.
What's the best way to reach you? +
Email (ankitdhandharia21@gmail.com) is fastest and I check it multiple times a day. LinkedIn works too, especially for recruiters. For urgent things, phone works.
