Anish Kharal

Computer Science student — building the small things that sense, and learning to build the ones that think.

I'm a CS undergrad at the University of Southern Mississippi on full scholarship, working across AI evaluation, hardware automation, and applied research — from a sensor-driven dispenser to a conference talk on VR therapy.
