Open to Roles & Collaborations

I build things that
actually ship.

Software engineer turned product builder. I've shipped AI pipelines, macOS tools, trading algorithms, and IoT systems — 57+ projects across 10+ languages. Currently at MediaTek. Computer Science, BITS Pilani.

Engineer. Builder. Hacker.

I'm Chandresh Kerkar — a full-stack engineer and compulsive builder. I move across the entire stack, from low-level hardware to production AI pipelines (LLMs/RAG) and native mobile apps.

I don't just "write code"—I solve problems and ship products. Whether it's an algorithmic trading bot, a macOS tool with OCR, or an AI-powered workforce platform, my focus is always on velocity and impact.

Ship something World Class.

I thrive in high-stakes environments where speed and technical depth are mandatory. If you're building for the YC hackathon or a moonshot startup, let's talk.
