Hi, I'm Khushi

CS Sophomore · UT Dallas · AI & Full-Stack

Software Developer Intern at Synerix building CopyCat, an AI-powered social shopping platform. Passionate about full-stack development, AI, and building things that matter.

About Me

I'm a Computer Science sophomore at UT Dallas seeking hands-on internship experience in full-stack development and collaborative software engineering. I have a strong foundation in programming, problem-solving, and teamwork, with a deep interest in AI and data-driven technologies.

From GDSC UTD Sprints and WEHack to shipping AI products like CodeTutor AI, I love applying programming in real-world team environments. Outside of code, I spent three years at Falak Art Studio teaching children ages 4–16, managing curriculum and studio events. As a 3rd-degree black belt in Taekwondo, I mentored junior classes and developed the leadership and communication skills I bring to every team today.
