Prakhar Tiwari

Backend Developer Intern @ IBM

About

I’m a Computer Science + Math (minor) student at Rutgers–New Brunswick with a focus on software engineering, computer vision, and AI-driven applications. I enjoy building tools that solve real-world problems through code and intelligent design. One of my recent projects, VisionSteer, uses hand-tracking and computer vision to control driving simulators through gesture recognition, removing the need for physical simulator steering wheels, an expensive item. It’s an exploration of human-computer interaction for cost-efficient solutions, built with Python. As a creative technologist, I lead Discrete Editing, a 300+ member creative tech community where I build automation tools and scripts to streamline 3D motion design. As a prominent YouTube editor, I blend code and creativity to deliver high-impact visual content. Always open to collaboration in tech, media, or anything in between, let’s connect.
