About Me

Akash Challa

I'm a Computer Science graduate student at the University of Florida, where I'm also working as a Research Assistant focusing on fairness algorithms and machine learning.

With a strong foundation in full-stack development and machine learning, I've worked across diverse domains—from building responsive web applications to developing AI diagnostic systems. My experience spans research at NUS, software engineering at Tech Mahindra, and full-stack development at Challa Constructions.

I'm passionate about creating technology that's not only powerful but also fair and accessible. Whether it's reducing bias in algorithms or building seamless user experiences, I thrive on solving complex problems with elegant solutions.
