Aditya Kolekar.

Computer Science/AI. Building software that shows its work.

Hello, I’m Aditya.

I study computer science and AI. I build AI products and the ordinary software that makes them dependable: permissions, source trails, review screens, and recovery when a connection drops.

This summer I worked on a phone-side agent server, search for a civic organization, advisor tools, customer retention, social publishing, and a branching conversation prototype. This site is my index of what I built and what I learned while building it.
