Gautam Jajoo
Work hard. Be optimisitc. Enjoy the journey.
Hey folks! I am Gautam Jajoo, a fourth-year undergraduate student at BITS Pilani pursuing Bachelors in Computer Science and Masters in Economics. I like to code and love to work at the intersection of tech, business and innovation.
My research interests include Federated Learning, Privacy Preserving ML, and Software Engineering. I am also interested in understanding of human behavior in various interactions.
My hobbies include quizzing, playing chess, and watching movies(I am a movie buff ;)). Apart from that, I love writing jokes, and sometimes I try to do standup.
I have actively participated in a diverse array of competitions spanning various domains, including product development, case studies, financial analysis, programming contests, and data analytics and science competitions.
I love to talk and interact with people(not an extrovert, but an ambivert). I am always looking opportunities to collaborate and work on interesting projects. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or just want to say hi!
I am currently seeking funded opportunities to work during Fall 2024
