Systems Software Engineer at Apple

About

I graduated from Purdue University in May 2023 with a B.S. in Computer Science with Distinction. My academic concentrations were: Systems Software, Programming Languages, Software Engineering, and Algorithmic Foundations.

Currently, I'm a Systems Software Engineer at Apple, where I work on building SoC simulations for Apple hardware. In the past, I interned on the LLVM compiler team at Meta and the iOS Pro App team at Angi.
