$ Creating digital experiences from the future_
> I am Srijan Suresh, a developer(prev Intern ACT) and researcher(@UIC) with a passion for building AI-driven applications, efficient systems, and tools that make life easier and smarter. Whether it’s frontend finesse or backend logic, I’m all about crafting clean, impactful experiences.
> My journey spans LLM-powered travelbots, real-time data pipelines, and kernel-level network tooling. I’ve contributed to research at UIC, built tools with OpenAI, Firebase, and Pinecone, and even used CUDA to supercharge transportation models.
> Outside the code grind, you’ll find me diving into open-source, reverse-engineering systems for fun, playing chess or Replaying Elden Ring for 100th time. I move fast, learn faster, and I’m always down to build something that pushes the edge.
