Hi, I'm George

CS student at the University of Michigan. I build scalable systems and ship real products and features.

About

I'm an undergraduate at the University of Michigan pursuing a B.S.E. in Computer Science. I've built production systems as a founding engineer, worked in bank tech, shipped an LLM tool across 26 sites, and published first-author research. Outside of code, I'm into philosophy, game design, bouldering, skateboarding, golf, guitar, and calisthenics.

Experience

Building and scaling production systems.
