Ayush Prasad — building reliable research + production software.

Intro

MS CS candidate at UIUC (3.94 GPA) pairing human-computer interaction research with internships at MathWorks, Morgan Stanley, and Siemens. I thrive on mono repos, resilient infrastacks, and the patient polish that makes keyboards feel first-class.

Currently in Boston working on MATLAB App Builder accessibility.
