About
My name is Alwin Rajkumar and I'm a senior at the University of Louisville studying Computer Science & Engineering. I love solving hard problems with new and interesting solutions. I've open-sourced a number of my projects on github. I am looking for internships to grow my skills in the world of computer science, so feel free to connect with me on linkedin or write me to mail.

What am I doing now?
At the moment, I'm working as a Research Assistant Intern at the Louisville Automation & Robotics Research Institute, where I design and implement computer vision pipelines for drone-based perception and localization. I'm also working with Dr.Bego on generative AI research, where I co-authored papers including "Expertise and Trust in GenAI". I am also working with Dr.Baidya on Computer Vision algorithms, mainly for the use on drones.

Personal Projects
I wrote the x86 assembly math routines and stitched them to a small C program to make a command-line calculator. This is my first real blend of C and assembly, built with two friends for our CSE 525 Microcomputer Design class.
Created a desktop reader that lets you chat with academic PDFs via Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash. Optimized for the browser and functions as either a pdf reader or a chatbot. Try it here
A real-time chat application built using Python, Flask, and SocketIO, allowing users to create chat rooms and send messages instantly.
Created a fully functional 2D Pong game using Python and the Pygame library
Independently designed and developed a fully functional 2D Retro Space Invaders game in C++ using Raylib, without the use of game engines.
Created a browser-based tool for image classification using a pre-trained machine learning model, MobileNet. The tool allows you to classify images and even train the machine to distinguish between two sets of images. Demo
Made a flashcard generator that leverages Google's Gemini to create flashcards from prompts, text, or PDFs. Try it here
Built a lightweight menu bar app for macOS that displays real-time memory usage of running applications. Made for personal use with Cursor.
