HEY, I'M
KrishnaPassi.
✳ 01 / A LITTLE ABOUT METHE PERSON BEHIND THE SCREEN
SO, WHO AM I?
Thoughtful code.Curious mind.
I’m Krishna, a computer science student who genuinely enjoys engineering applications, web experiences, and AI systems that actually solve problems (and don’t crash on day two).
Always curious, constantly breaking things to see how they work, and ready to team up for internships, collaborative projects, or the next big experiment.
