AI Engineer

Evan A. Khanna

I’m a solution-oriented tech enthusiast and Honors student at James Madison University, majoring in Computer Science. With 2+ years of hands-on experience in coding, entrepreneurship, and competitions, I’m passionate about building digital experiences that are both creative and impactful.

I’m the founder of Dareshift, a tool that streamlines everything related to taking and managing your medications. Through Dareshift, I aim to take the hard work to manage, order, and take many medicines, provide educational content on tips I use to manage my own medications, and create original content through our company blog.

Outside of tech, I enjoy Taekwondo, creative writing, and spending time with family. I’m always open to collaboration, networking with other founders, and connecting with VCs, mentors, and student leaders, especially fellow Dukes.

My Experience

Applied Computer Science in Practice

Across academic work, student leadership, and independent technical projects, I focus on turning computer science concepts into real, usable systems. Whether meeting with university leadership to represent student needs, building experimental AI applications, or optimizing web experiences, I’ve learned to combine technical problem-solving with clear communication and practical impact.

These experiences have strengthened my ability to take ideas from early concepts to working prototypes, collaborate with others, and continuously iterate based on feedback.

I’m especially interested in applying AI and software engineering to build tools that are both technically sound and genuinely useful to the people who use them.

I’ve Worked With

2026

AI Debate Lab

A fully deployed, multi-agent AI application where two AI bots debate any topic you throw at them.

Here’s how it works:

You enter any debatable prompt, optionally assign each bot a custom name and role, and set how many turns the debate runs. A moderator bot steps in every two turns to guide the conversation, and at the end, a judge bot scores each participant, provides a summary, and suggests improvements. You can even download a formatted PDF transcript, printable and shareable.

CarbonCoach

CarbonCoach is a machine learning powered web app that predicts a user’s carbon footprint and provides personalized strategies to reduce it.

This application allows the user to input factors such as travel time, how often they dispose of trash bags, etc. (determined using machine learning models to identify the features that most affect carbon footprint). It then displays their estimated carbon footprint along with a breakdown of which habits contribute most to it.

An LLM, using the Gemini API, provides recommended actionable steps to help users strategically lower their footprint without disrupting their daily routines.
