About

Karan Bhaskar

I’m passionate about distributed systems, database architecture, and building high-performance software. I enjoy understanding how software behaves under load, how systems recover, and how the user experience changes when the underlying architecture is designed well.

Leadership & Community

Ontario Tech Computer Science Club Sep 2025 โ€“ Present Event Coordinator

I help organize technical workshops and peer-learning sessions so students can build projects, prepare for hackathons, and grow practical development skills outside class.

I also collaborate with student leaders on event planning and outreach to improve engagement in coding competitions and campus developer culture.

Hackathon

HackHive 2026

I attended HackHive 2026 at Ontario Tech University and helped build AssistMe, an accessibility-first interface that turns eye movement into intentional, spoken interaction.

The weekend was a good reminder that the best technical choice is often the one that makes the interaction calmer, clearer, and easier for someone to trust right away.
