Software Engineer
Building models, tools, and apps that turn ideas into working products.
Hi! I’m Aryan, a Computer Science student at UT Dallas working across AI engineering, data science, and full-stack development.
I enjoy building projects where those overlap, like a transit app with its own routing engine or a model that grades every shot from an NBA season.
Right now, I’m an AI Engineer Intern at Innowhyte (opens in new tab), working on an agentic AI project, and an undergraduate researcher in Dr. Alexander Michels’ spatial data science group (opens in new tab), studying gaps in healthcare access. I also just started assisting with post-quantum cryptography research in Dr. Imtiaz Karim’s SysNets Lab (opens in new tab). Previously, I spent a year on the UT Dallas IT support desk helping students, faculty, and staff.
In my free time, I’m usually playing , hanging out with my friends, , or reading a book from my ever-growing reading list. Currently, I’m reading Urban Creatures (opens in new tab) by Sarah Gray.

UT Dallas
Studying healthcare access gaps in Dr. Alexander Michels’ group using population and facility data. Implementing place-based spatial accessibility measures modeled on the PySAL access package, including floating catchment area and gravity models, building on PostGIS work from LineFinder.
Summer 2026 to PresentNow
Innowhyte (opens in new tab) , Remote
Built a full-stack conversational data analysis app that answers natural-language questions across multiple CSVs with text and charts. Designed an LLM planning pipeline that validates model-generated plans before deterministic Pandas execution, with a regression test suite. Now contributing to a live agentic AI project.

Supported students, faculty, and staff across phone, email, chat, and remote channels, troubleshooting AWS remote access, Duo, Teams, PeopleSoft, Azure, and hardware and software issues.
Winner · Vultr Track, HackTX 2026
An AI-powered SSH honeypot that won the Vultr track at HackTX 2026. A fake company server lured in real attackers, told bots, humans and AI agents apart, investigated what they left behind with live web search, and showed every intrusion as a creature on a 3D globe. It caught 4,900+ attacks from 20 countries over the weekend, including a live Kaiji botnet attempt. The site now replays the recorded attacks.
Mobile-first DART transit navigator with a custom RAPTOR-style routing engine, versioned GTFS schedule ingestion, walking-aware trip planning, and transfer-risk ranking, backed by 1.9M+ stop-time records in PostGIS.
A 3D galaxy of about 5,000 films where every star is a film, placed by how it feels instead of its genre. Plot, themes, and poster colors are embedded and laid out with UMAP, rendered with React Three Fiber on WebGPU, and vibe search runs fully in the browser with Transformers.js.
ML pipeline on 128K NBA shots predicting make probability, benchmarking five model families and explaining the model with SHAP. Deployed as an interactive dashboard with a shot predictor and an out-of-sample player shot-making leaderboard.
