Vasanth Aggala

Computer Engineering @ Georgia Tech

Interested in software development, research, and data-driven engineering. Building systems that solve real-world problems.

Who Am I?

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Georgia Tech concentrating in Distributed Systems & Software Design and Systems & Architecture. I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering + data, where I can build systems that solve real problems.

In my free time, I like to cook new dishes, play Breath of the Wild or Pokemon, and challenge myself by learning new things & building projects.

I'm always happy to chat! Whether you're interesting in collaborating, or just want to talk, reach out at vasanthaggala@gatech.edu!
