Hi, I'mVarun Bhat
Computer Science Student at OSU
Graduating in 2025 with a passion for software development, AWS cloud solutions, and machine learning. Most recently created an AI Chatbot for OSU with Hewlett-Packard.

Life outside of code
When I'm not building things, you'll find me doing other things I love.
Meet Sophie
My coding companion. She's an expert at stepping on keyboards and reminding me to take breaks (usually for food).
Adventures & Staying Active
I love exploring new places and staying active. Recently got back from Japan (incredible trip!). When I'm not traveling, you can find me:
🎾 Playing tennis
💪 Working out
🌶️ Trying spicy foods
📚 Learning new things
Some things I've built
A few projects I'm particularly excited about

PawRx - Pet Medication Safety
Comprehensive web application for pet medication tracking, drug interaction checking, and AI-powered safety analysis.
AI Chatbot with HP

Work experience
Some places I've worked and things I've learned along the way.
BlackBerry/Cylance
Dec 2022 - Apr 2023Software Developer Intern
Worked on testing and API development for cybersecurity products. Got hands-on experience with Python, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines.
Oregon Health & Science University
Mar 2021 - Sep 2021Research Assistant
Built web tools for pathology researchers. First real experience creating applications that others actually used.
Something I'm really proud of
JoyBox
I co-founded an organization that delivers personalized gifts and letters to cancer patients at Doernbecher Pediatric Hospital. It started as a small idea to brighten someone's day and has grown into something that brings joy to families during their toughest times.
This has honestly been one of the most meaningful things I've been part of.
