Senior🎓
Top SchoolAaron Young is a software engineer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory with nine years of experience building research-driven and production software stemming from a strong academic foundation (BS, MS, PhD in Computer Engineering, all with top marks) from the University of Tennessee. He blends rigorous research experience as a graduate student researcher with applied engineering at national lab and industry internships (Garmin, Siemens), making him adept at moving algorithms into reliable systems. Based in Knoxville, he brings a pragmatic curiosity—equally likely to debug complex code as to organize a D&D campaign—and values thoughtful craftsmanship informed by long-term projects. Outside work he’s a community-minded technologist and tinkerer who enjoys tea, video games, and mentoring peers, reflecting a collaborative, testable approach to software problem solving.
