Hey! I'm Akeen Karkare

Physics @ Stony Brook β€’ AI β€’ Robotics β€’ Systems β€’ Weird ideas that actually work


πŸš€ About Me

I'm a physics student at Stony Brook University who enjoys building ambitious projects across software, AI, robotics, and computational science.

I’m especially interested in projects where code interacts with the real world: competitive coding platforms, autonomous robots, signal processing, and experimental AI systems.


πŸ”₯ Featured Projects

πŸ₯Š YeetCode β€” Competitive Coding Platform

Making interview prep feel like a multiplayer game.

  • Real-time 1v1 coding duels
  • Open matches anyone can join
  • Wagers, streaks, and competitive mechanics
  • Built with FastAPI, AWS Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, React, and Next.js


🌌 Exoplanet Detector

Finding planets hidden inside noisy stellar data.

  • Processes light curve data
  • Detects periodic dips in brightness
  • Uses signal processing to extract weak patterns from noise
  • Combines physics, computation, and data analysis


🧠 BrainSquared

An experimental system exploring structured reasoning and AI workflows.

  • Built around modular reasoning pipelines
  • Experiments with decision-making systems
  • Focuses on combining computation, logic, and intelligent behavior


πŸ€– Autonomous Indoor Delivery Robot

A Jetson-powered robot for indoor navigation and delivery.

  • Real-time computer vision
  • Human-following mode
  • Obstacle avoidance and perception pipeline
  • Moving toward autonomous hallway navigation


πŸ’§ RateMyWater β€” Hackathon Winner

A chaotic but useful app for rating bodies of water.

  • Interactive map
  • Community submissions
  • Fun rating system for beaches, lakes, rivers, and more
  • Winner of Best Use of MongoDB

πŸ”­ Currently Building

  • Improving YeetCode matchmaking, onboarding, and retention
  • Building a Jetson-powered autonomous delivery robot
  • Exploring signal processing for astrophysics
  • Experimenting with AI reasoning systems

⚑ Philosophy

I like building things that are a little too ambitious.

Things that:

  • scale
  • move
  • compete
  • or reveal something hidden
