About Mahika Kakkad

I’m a rising senior at the University of Florida, majoring in Computer and Information Sciences with a minor in Business Administration. I specialize in AI-driven product development, software development, and data analytics. Currently, I’m an AI Software Engineer Intern at Lenovo, where I’m researching mobile-first opportunities in enterprise IT and prototyping AI-powered solutions in collaboration with cross-functional teams. I also lead AI Med, a secure scribe platform for healthcare professionals that integrates real-time transcription, automated note generation, and Stripe-based payments—built using Supabase, Vite, and the OpenAI API. Previously, I’ve led projects like Campus Bytes, a university focused food-finder app, and SHPE GPT, an AI chatbot supporting thousands at a national convention. I’ve also built a Python-based movie recommender engine and launched Smile Brigade, a web platform for accessible mental health support. As a Data Management Trainee at Omaxe Limited, I processed over property transactions to inform investment strategy. At Chapter247 Infotech, I delivered production-ready websites and improved performance through data-driven design. Outside of tech, I founded the first Florida chapter of Hindu YUVA, building a cultural community for over students, and taught programming to 50+ underserved children—combining leadership with a commitment to inclusion and impact.
