Sriram Karthik Akella
Computer Science Student 💻
Hey there! 👋 I'm a fourth-year Computing Science major at the University of Alberta, set to graduate in April 2025. 💻 My journey into the world of computers started at a young age, sparked by a fascination with both software and hardware. This early curiosity 🔍 evolved into a deep passion for technology, which led me to pursue a degree in Computing Science.
I’ve gained valuable experience through two SWE internships 💼.
As I approach my graduation in April 2025, I’m seeking full-time opportunities in Software Engineering or related roles where I can apply my skills to build scalable, efficient solutions. I’m eager to contribute to impactful projects, grow as an engineer, and collaborate with talented teams
Beyond academics, I have a deep love for problem-solving 🧩, which drives my enthusiasm for competitive programming on LeetCode. Feel free to explore my LeetCode profile to check out my recent activity here.
I am currently enrolled in the Science Internship Program (co-op) at my university, which allows me to work full-time for 4, 8, 12 or 16 months. The classes I have taken and the projects I have worked on cover a realm of Computer Science fields, from App Development and Web Development to Databases and Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence. Now, I am looking forward to gaining practical experience where I can apply the Computer Science knowledge I have gained into real-world applications.
