Mehul Oswal — Software Engineer
Curiosity has been the wick in the candle of my learning! When I was 11, helping my father assemble computers seemed like a simple task—just connecting hardware and getting the system to boot. But I wanted more. I went beyond that by installing applications, testing their functionality, and ensuring everything ran smoothly. That extra effort taught me the importance of going the extra mile—an approach that has shaped my work ethic ever since. Years later, before starting my undergraduate degree, my father introduced me to Bitcoin. Intrigued, I read Satoshi’s whitepaper. I barely understood most of it, but one thing stood out: the cryptographic principles behind Bitcoin’s security. That curiosity led me to mine coins and explore decentralized technologies. My journey has never been linear. My passion for building meaningful technology has taken me from Ethereum 2.0 to AI-driven systems, full-stack development, and UX research. I’ve worked across fields like cryptography, machine learning, cloud computing, and large-scale AI applications—always driven by an inquisitive mind that loves to break things apart and rebuild them stronger. As a Master’s student in Computer Science at UIUC, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to both academia and industry. As a Research Assistant, I developed LLM-driven tools like PersonaFlow and EvalignUX, achieving a 90% satisfaction rate among 198 users across 17 institutions. This work was recently published at CHI 2025. Additionally, as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Cryptography (CS-407), I’ve shared my knowledge and mentored others in the field that first inspired me. Now, I’m focused on giving back to society by using my skills. Whether through research, development, or teaching, I strive to create solutions that are not just functional but meaningful—solutions that make a real impact. My Technical Toolkit: - Programming: C++, Python, JavaScript, TypeScript - Web & Cloud: React.js, Next.js, FastAPI, Flask, Node.js, Azure, AWS, GCP - AI & Data: TensorFlow, PyTorch, OpenCV, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Neo4j - Blockchain & Security: Solidity, Web3.js, Cryptography I believe in continuous learning, attention to detail, and the power of technology to drive change. Let’s connect and build something meaningful!
