ZACHARY GEORGE / SOFTWARE ENGINEER

From systems
to software
that matters.

I build across the stack—from embedded software to cloud analytics. I’m interested in how data, algorithms, and thoughtful engineering come together to solve practical problems.

SELECTED PROJECTS

A closer look
at the work.

Two explorations in algorithms and data. Public code, concrete questions, and a closer look at how the systems behave.

01 / GRAPH ALGORITHMSC++

Finding influence
in a connected world.

A C++ Twitter activity tracker built in a four-person team. Depth-first search and PageRank explore connections and rank influential users in the Higgs boson dataset.

02 / ALGORITHM SIMULATIONPYTHON

What does a greedy
decision cost?

Python simulations explore server-request matching in one and two dimensions. A 100-trial 1D experiment compares greedy distance costs with an optimal baseline.

A LITTLE CONTEXT

Curiosity,
all the way down.

My background is in electrical engineering and computer science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. I’m drawn to problems that connect the software we write to the systems underneath it.

I enjoy understanding how things work, testing ideas in code, and making complicated behavior easier to reason about.

TOOLS I WORK WITH
  • Python, C/C++, Java, SQL
  • AWS SageMaker & QuickSight
  • PyTorch & TensorFlow
  • Git, REST APIs & JUnit
GOOD WORK STARTS WITH A CONVERSATION
