Summary

Product-focused founder: Tanmai built GradSteps, an AI-assisted undergraduate degree planner targeted at students and university advising; the product site lists 'Made by Tanmai Kalisipudi' and the project was presented in campus entrepreneurship contexts (Big Idea Competition). This shows an interest in productizing academic/advising workflows and shipping end-to-end web products. gradsteps+2
Hackathon and learner-focused tooling: multiple hackathon/devpost entries (including 'Buddy') indicate hands-on experience building learner-facing tooling, using LangChain, Flask, MongoDB, and integrating LLM tooling to assist with coding projects and onboarding collaborators. devpost+1
Open-source & ML interest: public GitHub (tanmaik) and a Hugging Face profile show active public engineering and ML-adjacent interests (pulse repo, Hugging Face account linking to personal site), suggesting strengths in full‑stack development, experimentation, and applied-ML tooling. github+2
Student & early-career software engineer: profiles and aggregator pages list summer roles at Lineaje and Cisco and a software-engineer role at Suitable (joined May 2025). Combined with university enrollment in a CS program, this depicts a trajectory of hackathon-driven learning, internships, and early full‑time software work. peerlist+1
