From Chantilly, VA

Hello! I’m Evan and I’m a software developer at AWS working on AWS HealthOmics. I graduated from Cornell in 2024 with an MEng in CS and a BS in CS and ECE. As an undergrad I worked with Adrian Sampson on compilers for hardware accelerators. I also TA’d for CS courses and was president of Cornell Data Science, a student-run project team on campus.

I’m broadly interested in hardware/software co-design at the intersection of compilers, programming languages, and computer architecture. I like thinking about abstractions up-and-down the computing stack and how we can improve them to simplify today’s most challenging problems.

I’m always happy to chat! Feel free to reach out at evanw0405@gmail.com.
