Passionate Computer Science student with expertise in Machine Learning

Hello! I'm Saurabh Bhandari, a passionate third-year Computer Science student at BITS Pilani with a strong focus on Machine Learning. My journey in the world of technology has led me to explore exciting projects in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, and Quantitative Finance. I am currently interning at Xu Labs, Carnegie Mellon University, where I am revolutionizing medical concept normalization using hyperbolic embeddings and fine-tuning techniques with SapBERT. My experience at TRexQuant Investments has honed my skills in algorithmic trading and market-neutral portfolio construction, while my industrial project at Nucleus Softwares involved forecasting potential loan defaulters through innovative speaker diarization techniques and Graph Machine Learning. I have a deep interest in Graph Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and Competitive Programming. My academic achievements, including being in the top 1% of my batch and winning prestigious awards like the INAE SERB Youth Conclave Ideathon, reflect my dedication to excellence in the field of technology. I am excited to share my journey, projects, and experiences with you on this platform. Let's connect and explore the endless possibilities of technology together!
