Open to internship & full-time opportunities

Hi, I'm Karthik
Janardhan

IT Student & GenAI Builder

Third-year IT student who builds full-stack products and GenAI tooling — from LLM observability stacks to hackathon-winning platforms, shipped under real deadlines.

About

Who I am

Karthik Janardhan

I'm a third-year Information Technology student at St. Francis Institute of Technology, currently holding a CGPI of 8.40. I like building things end-to-end — from the data pipeline to the UI — and I gravitate toward projects where AI tooling solves a real, unglamorous problem.

Over the last two years that's meant an LLM observability stack for a national stock exchange, a heritage-tourism platform that won a hackathon, and a marketplace assistant for Indian artisans powered by Vertex AI. I've also spent time on the other side of the table — leading marketing for Google Developer Groups on Campus and organizing a national-level hackathon.
