Greetings!
I am Khwaish Agarwal
Software Engineer
I'm an incoming Associate Member of Technical Staff (AMTS) at Salesforce, where I previously interned and received a Pre-Placement Offer (PPO). Alongside this, I am also a member of the founding team and Chief Operations Officer at Code with Conscience.
I recently graduated from Thapar Institute of Engineering & Technology with a 9.94/10 CGPA, completing my degree on a 100% Merit Scholarship, with my tuition fully covered for all four years.
Previously, I interned as a Data Science Intern at EbixCash, as an AMTS Intern at Salesforce, and an SDE Intern at Amazon (I also earned a PPO from Amazon after my internship but chose to begin my full-time career at Salesforce), working on AI-powered developer productivity and distributed systems.
I was a finalist at the India International Women Competitive Programming Championship (IIWCPC) held at IIT Guwahati, sponsored by Jane Street, and I'm also a published researcher with a paper in IEEE Xplore.
My core interests lie in innovation and technology (especially those with a social impact). I genuinely enjoy mentoring students, hosting tech sessions, and helping peers navigate internships, projects, interviews, and career opportunities.
If you're looking to connect, collaborate, or discuss opportunities in tech, I'd love to hear from you!

Performance Evaluation of different Machine Learning Techniques for Pothole Detection
Presented at InC4 2025: IEEE International Conference on Contemporary Computing and Communications at CHRIST (Deemed to be University), Kengeri Campus, Bangalore, India on March 14-15, 2025.
A pothole is an oval-shaped depression in the surface of a road caused by traffic-induced forces. Pothole detection is vital for road maintenance and cost estimation. This research evaluates five deep learning models—Ultralytics YOLOv8, ResNet-50, MobileNet, EfficientNet, and DenseNet121—for detecting and segmenting potholes in real-time, aiding in automated road damage assessment.
