About

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.
