Utkarsh Bajaj
MSSE student, ECE department | Fall 2025 Grad
I’m really passionate about coding and systems, and I enjoy discussing new technologies and ideas.
I’ll be leading the Coding Gym sessions. Join us on Thursdays as we take on LeetCode problems together!
Outside of coding, I like to stay active, whether it’s running, going to the gym, or trying something new.
Siddhisa Banerjee
MSSE student, ECE department | Fall 2025 Grad
I'm excited to support you in planning and preparing for your internship or job search. Whether it’s navigating job search platforms, reviewing your resume and cover letter, or preparing for mock interviews, I’m here to help. I specialize in software engineering and machine learning roles.
If you're looking to apply for research positions with professors in Pittsburgh or want insights into the research we do at the SV campus, I’d be happy to guide you.
I can also help you optimize your LinkedIn profile and build effective outreach strategies to connect with alumni, referrals, and hiring managers. And if you ever just want to chat about courses or need to vent about the pressure, I’m always here to listen.
Outside of coding, I love reading storybooks and watching shows and movies. If you ever want to talk about a good read or your latest binge-watch, I’m more than happy to join in!
