About Karunya Chavan

I enjoy working across multiple layers of abstraction, sometimes at the same time.I currently work at rtCamp as Associate Software Engineer, learning from experienced professionals.I recently worked at DRDO R & DE on reinforcement-learning based locomotion. I’ve finished teaching quadruped robots how to walk on four legs and same systems to walk on two, which has been a useful lesson in control, stability, and humility.Previously, I built a Compute Express Link (CXL) protocol simulator in C++ using QEMU, working closely with cache coherence, shared memory, and the many ways hardware asserts authority.I also built FoodRxCheck, a mobile app and website now used in a hospital to prevent unsafe drug–food interactions, where correctness is non-negotiable.At the moment, I’m working on a Semantic Layer Powered File System, applying LLMs and deep learning so files can be found by intent rather than directory pathsI’m always looking for opportunities where I can work on meaningful systems and contribute to products that push intelligence and usability forward.
