Arunachalam Kasi

Software Engineer Intern @ Twinly and B.S. Data Science student at San José State University. I build ML models, data tools, and AI assistants — and teach the next wave of coders along the way.

01 — Profile

Driven by data,
built to ship.

I'm a Data Science undergraduate at San José State University (4.0 GPA, Class of 2026) who lives at the intersection of analytics and engineering. Whether it's predicting heart-attack risk with machine learning or wiring up a voice-activated AI assistant, I like turning messy data and rough ideas into things people can actually use.

Right now I'm interning as a Software Engineer at Twinly while running data analytics at IDX Exchange and improving learning platforms at Knodemy. My toolkit spans Python, Java, SQL and the modern web — backed by a Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and a stubborn habit of shipping.

When I'm not building, I'm teaching: mentoring young developers at All Star Code and running robotics curricula for the next generation of makers.
