About Me

Hello! I'm Pranal Siripurapu, a passionate Computer Science student at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information, expected to graduate in May 2029. I specialize in web development, artificial intelligence, and digital accessibility solutions that make technology more inclusive and user-friendly.

My technical expertise includes full-stack development with Python, JavaScript, and modern web frameworks. I've built machine learning applications, developed BLE proximity systems for accessibility, and created tools that serve real users.

I'm passionate about using technology to solve real-world problems, particularly in accessibility and education. Through my work at OLLI and various hackathon projects, I focus on creating inclusive digital experiences that bridge technology gaps and empower users of all backgrounds and abilities.
