Building Intelligent &
Secure Systems
I'm Abhijeet S Pachpute, MS in Computer Science @ University of Utah (May 2026). I build production software, ship applied AI, and care obsessively about security and reliability.
/ About Me
I'm a computer science graduate student at the University of Utah, focused on building intelligent software that is secure, reliable, and production-ready. My background spans software engineering, machine learning, and security. It's shaped by both academic research and hands-on engineering.
I started my journey in India, where I worked on early research, patents, and engineering projects before moving to the U.S. to deepen my foundation in systems, algorithms, and applied AI.
I'm currently seeking software engineering roles where I can work on meaningful systems, learn from strong engineers, and ship work that matters at scale.
