Karan Kardam
I am a Computer Engineering student at the University of Toronto, minoring in Artificial Intelligence and Engineering Business, interested in software engineering with a focus on machine learning and AI systems.
Experience
Architected an agentic RAG assistant that answers ownership, onboarding, and status questions with cited sources for engineering teams on Copilot CLI. Built the knowledge graph and hybrid retrieval stack behind it, and shipped a multi-agent library other teams can plug into their own workflows.

Led the modernization of a legacy COBOL tax processing system into cloud microservices, replacing brittle batch jobs with modular services that were safer to ship and easier to maintain. Built the React frontend and CI/CD pipelines that took the new platform from rewrite to production.

Projects
Turns images into genre-conditioned music tracks by reading visual features, predicting musical parameters, and composing full instrumental pieces. The model picks the right genre 91% of the time, with cloud services handling composition, mixing, and delivery end to end.
