Learn, build new stuffs || Volunteering to make a difference || FOSS Enthusiast


Hello there! My name is Jayaraj J (call me Jay), a whizz-neophyte discovering the ways of code, helping others, exploring new horizons, and building communities. Fascinated by technology, I like to use my skills to solve problems, try new stuffs. Coming from a beautiful village in Kerala, South India, I love to spend time with nature.


Currently doing Ph.D at University of California, Santa Cruz, starting Fall 2024. I’ll be researching about new hot topics in verification of processors, particularly started my journey with Computer Architecture having RISC-V in mind. I’ll be working with Professor Jose Renau at MASC Lab (Micro Architecture at Santa Cruz)
