Hi I'm Jacob, currently an SDE working on energy efficiency and kernel development for
Amazon devices. Before this, I worked on location services and infrastructure for Alexa.
I'm also pursuing my Masters in Computer Science from
UIUC.
I did my undergrad at UIUC in Math & CS. I was the
backend team lead in the IoT Systems Research Group under
Prof. Matthew Caesar. It was a great opportunity to work with some of the smartest
people at the university to develop a circuit and Arduino virtualization application
that allowed for the rapid prototyping of programmable hardware (currently closed
source).
Additionally, I was a course assistant for the CS department's
System Programming course taken by hundreds of students each semester. I hosted
office hours and assisted in labs every week.
