Rishikesh Yadav
Software, AI & Web3 Engineer
My name is Rishikesh, and I am a Junior at Caldwell for a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Computer Science and Mathematics. I love doing Deep RL, Backend, and Web3 Dev. I'm most passionate about the use of tech to solve problems that really matters (not leetcode ofc). I like to spend my free time reading and listening to podcasts, with some of my favorite topics being startups and AI. If you'd like to connect, please reach out to rishikeshadh4 at gmail dot com.
