Prajwal Prashanth

Hello! I'm a recent engineering transfer graduate from Langara College, heading to the University of British Columbia this September, awaiting a June decision on Engineering Physics. 1The perfect intersection of math, physics, robotics, AI, and computer engineering. Applied, interviewed, and cautiously optimistic.

I balance ambitious projects with strong academic performance. I serve as Community DevOps Manager at BC + AI Ecosystem, have demoed projects like JARVIS at Vancouver AI meetups, built hardware like Handy Andy, competed at hackathons like Hack the North and nwHacks, and graduated as my high school's valedictorian 2Serendipity. for the Class of 2025.

My goal is to break into AI at the intersection of robotics and quantum computing, by continually learning, building, and shipping things that matter.
