Priyanshu Bansal | ML Engineer & AI Researcher

About

I’m Priyanshu Bansal, an MS in Computer Science student at Boston University. I like building things that feel clean, simple, fast, and reliable. I’m most motivated when I’m solving real problems instead of just writing code for the sake of it. I care a lot about fundamentals, so I spend time understanding how and why systems work, not just what tools to use.

Outside of classes, I’m usually either refining my skills (DSA + system design + modern full-stack) or exploring AI/ML with a builder mindset: taking an idea from zero to something usable, deployed, and polished. I’m looking for opportunities where I can work with strong teams, take ownership, and ship work that actually makes a difference.
