Bibhav Adhikari

$Software Engineer

I build across the stack, down to the metal, and into ML. CS student at the University of Southern Mississippi. I like hard problems — real-time audio at the kernel boundary, ML retrieval systems, and clean full-stack products. I ship things because I want them to exist.
