About Arpan Kumar Mahapatra

I’m Arpan Kumar Mahapatra — a graduate student at Purdue University (MS in Computer Science, GPA 3.73/4.0) with over 2.5 years of professional experience building scalable, intelligent, and impactful software solutions. My work spans machine learning, deep learning, automation, and full-stack development, all driven by a simple goal: using technology to solve real-world problems that matter.I’ve engineered automation frameworks at Optum that cut testing cycles by 40%, built AI-powered healthcare tools at Eli Lilly that unify knowledge across multiple sources, and developed deep learning solutions for smart traffic management with the Government of India. Along the way, I’ve tackled challenges in computer vision, NLP, and data processing pipelines, always with a focus on measurable impact.I thrive at the intersection of AI innovation and practical engineering — from designing a social distancing tracker deployed in a live restaurant environment, to creating annotation tools that accelerate pathologists’ workflows, to integrating AI agents for real-time knowledge retrieval.When I’m not coding, you’ll find me exploring how AI can be applied in healthcare, mentoring peers, or diving into new tech stacks just for fun.
