Soham Salunke
Hello! My name is Soham Salunke and I'm studying Computer Science and User Experience Design at the University of 
ichigan.
I am also working at Amazon this fall as a Jr. Software Development Engineer and am helping teach the Web Systems (eecs485.org) course at UMich as a teaching assistant.
I like building things that people enjoy using or are useful to them, figuring out how large systems hold up at scale, messing around with LLMs, and learning more about how design shapes our lives.
On campus, I'm a part of Atlas Digital Tech Consulting, a tech consulting organization with some really cool people, and V1 Michigan, a community of student builders .
I like to spend my free time hanging out with my friends, eating food, working out, & keeping up with my favorite sports teams (Go Lions & Wolverines!)
Some of my work
Search Engine
Developed a scalable search engine using TF-IDF, PageRank, and MapReduce, with a REST API delivering JSON results. Built as a part of the class I help teach
Video Generator
A video generator that creates TikTok style TTS videos that instead promote critical thinking based on essays and blogs. Could be used to start a content farm of intellectual brainrot.
Best Time to Buy
A Chrome extension to get an analysis on if it's the best time to buy a product. I wanted Sony XM-4s but didn't know if it was the best time to buy them
EasyResearch
Using GPT to read and learn from research papers. Built to enhance the capabilities of GPT-3.5 in 2023 by giving it a knowledge base.
Quotr
Automating seeking cost estimations for events, catering, and other information through AI conversations.
