I'm Waqar Akhtar, a B.Tech student in Artificial Intelligence & Data Science (Class of 2028) with a passion for building intelligent, impactful solutions at the intersection of AI, cloud, and full-stack development.

I thrive in turning ideas into functional, user-focused products — from AI-powered learning platforms to productivity tools — and enjoy working across the stack, from backend logic to polished, responsive UIs. My projects are designed not just to "work" but to solve real problems and scale.

In the past year, I've built and deployed multiple full-stack AI applications (PrepPal, FocusFlow, Hydro Heroes) using modern frameworks, APIs, and cloud platforms. I've gained certifications like Cisco's Python Essentials 1 and actively explored cloud technologies through the Google Cloud Arcade Facilitator Program. I've also contributed to hackathon projects, collaborating with teams under tight deadlines to deliver polished MVPs.

I'm actively expanding my skills in data structures, algorithms, cloud infrastructure, AI/ML pipelines, and scalable architectures to be ready for both engineering roles and innovation-driven environments.

My long-term vision is to leverage AI and cloud technologies to build products that enhance human productivity, education, and decision-making — and to contribute to teams that move fast, think big, and build with purpose.
