Hi, I'm Utkarsh Bajaj, a software engineer passionate about problem-solving and building efficient solutions. I worked at Microsoft for two years, where I honed my skills in cloud development before deciding to pursue my master's degree in Software Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University.
At Carnegie Mellon University, I’m embracing the challenges of a rigorous academic journey. Courses like Computer Systems and Distributed Systems have deepened my understanding of low-level concepts and provided a solid foundation in systems-related topics. While studying here is demanding, I find it both rewarding and intellectually stimulating. I’m also actively pursuing Summer 2025 software engineering internships to apply and expand my expertise in real-world settings.
Outside of work, I enjoy staying physically active, whether it's hitting the gym, running, or playing sports like tennis and football. I also used to play the guitar and plan to pick it up again soon—it's something I'm excited to revisit! Oh, and i use neovim btw :)
