Aryan Wadhwani

Systems Software Engineer at Apple

About

Hi! I'm Aryan. I work as a Systems Software Engineer at Apple, where I work on building SoC simulations for Apple hardware. Outside of work, I'm usually rock climbing, playing board games, or obsessing over public transit and urban planning.

I graduated from Purdue University in 2023 with a B.S. in Computer Science. In the past, I interned on the LLVM compiler team at Meta and the iOS Pro App team at Angi.

I live in Cambridge, MA, love hosting things and bringing people together. If you're nearby, don't be a stranger!
