Anusha Kumar — Software Engineer

01. About

The person behind the code

I'm a sophomore Computer Science student at Purdue University (Class of 2028) with a passion for building software that creates real-world impact. My work spans full-stack development, CI/CD pipelines, agentic AI systems, and cloud infrastructure.

Right now I'm doing undergraduate research with Stratolaunch via The Data Mine, building an autonomous CI/CD pipeline using Google Gemini and GitHub APIs — AI agents that plan, write, and test code on their own.

I'm also part of Hack the Future, Purdue's most selective software club, where my team is building a RAG-based policy analysis platform for a nonprofit in Botswana. I'm drawn to problems where technology genuinely changes lives.

Currently looking for Summer 2026 SWE internships, especially at product-focused companies at the intersection of AI and user experience.
