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 technical focus is in systems engineering, backend runtimes,
and ML infrastructure — contributed upstream to Google Protobuf, DeepSpeed, ONNX, and PyTorch Vision. My
broadest applied domain is in end-to-end data pipelines, ETL, and cloud architectures. My
most analytical skillset spans statistical modeling, double machine learning, and BI metrics. I can
go deep in any one of these, but I thrive most when a role asks me to bridge systems and data.
Can I see more of your code?
+
Of course — the Projects and Open Source pages have detailed highlights, and my GitHub
(@ankitdhandharia) has all public repositories, upstream pull requests, and commit histories.
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.
