About Ankit Kotnala

I don\'t just write code, I build things that think. As a Software Development Engineer at Zinnia, I work on crafting reliable, scalable applications using.NET, while simultaneously exploring the cutting edge of what software can do with AI. My current obsession? Large Language Models and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) teaching systems to reason, retrieve, and respond like never before.On the side, I\'m getting my hands dirty with MERN stack development, because good engineers don\'t stop at one corner of the stack. My roots are in Python, SQL, and Machine Learning, with a background in data analytics and visualization (yes, I speak Tableau too). That blend of data intuition + engineering muscle is something I lean on constantly.IBM & HackerRank certified | MCA in progress | Previously led technical initiatives at IITM Janakpuri\'s Debate & Literary Committee, where I learned that the best engineers can also communicate what they build. I\'m at that exciting stage of a career where everything is converging, software, data, and AI and I\'m here for all of it.If you\'re building something ambitious at that intersection, let\'s talk.
