Hello! I'm Lokesh Dhade, a Software Engineering student and aspiring full-stack developer from Wellington, NZ. I'm passionate about building AI-powered web tools and high-quality software, and I love collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver value in agile environments. I've interned as an AI & .NET Developer at DataTorque, tutored CS students, and built projects from React frontends to Python scrapers and GraphQL backends. When I'm not coding, I enjoy weight training and exploring new tech and fictional media.
