Hello.
I’m Suryash — an applied physics and computer science graduate interested in building software that connects computation to the physical world.
My work spans interactive simulation, XR, machine learning, scientific visualization, and experimental tools.
I’ve built physics simulations used in Cornell classrooms, worked on spatial and wearable computing prototypes, explored reinforcement learning through simulation, and contributed performance improvements to Apple’s MLX.
I’m most interested in problems where software lets us observe, model, interact with, or understand something that would otherwise be difficult to see.
