About

Portrait of Aayush Bharadwaj

Hi, I'm Aayush. I am a Software/Data Engineer at Capital One on the Partnerships Data Team, where I build production data pipelines and AI-powered developer tooling. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin - Madison in May 2025 with a B.S. in Computer Science, Data Science, and Economics. My academic and career interests have been fueled by a deep interest in technology and its potential to solve real-world problems.

Through my coursework, work experience, and personal projects, I have developed a strong foundation in software engineering, thriving on challenges and enjoying tackling complex problems. I am always looking for opportunities to learn and grow, and I am excited to see where my career takes me.

I am particularly interested in AI, and its practical applications in the real world. As an undergraduate researcher I fine-tuned large language models for education and co-authored two published papers, and at Capital One I have built Claude-powered workflows for data quality and automated vulnerability remediation. I am excited to see how AI will continue to transform industries and improve people's lives.

Personal Projects

Madhousing | UW-Madison Dorm Reviews
Madhousing | UW-Madison Dorm Reviews

Madhousing.com was a project initially launched in Spring 2022 by a group of 3 students at UW-Madison, with the goal of helping incoming students to decide which dorm to live at through peer-rated reviews. Since then, Madhousing has accumulated 60,000+ users and 260,000+ page views (Google Analytics API).

We were also featured in 3 prominent Madison publications, including The Cap Times, The Daily Cardinal, and The Badger Herald, along with being featured by The UW-Madison Alumni Network.

Originally developed using EJS templating, we refactored and redesigned our entire codebase in April 2024 using Next.js, React/TypeScript, MongoDB, and Tailwind with the help of 3 additional team members. Our goal was to create a more dynamic and user-friendly UI and to give us opportunities to scale up our project in the future.
