Top SchoolAidan Edwards is a Senior Software Engineer based in San Diego with 11 years of experience building systems-level software, web services, and tooling for high-performance communications. Currently at Qualcomm after four years on 5G research and internal tooling for Project Pentari, he brings deep expertise in software architecture, computer systems, and cybersecurity. He has a proven track record of shipping robust, production-ready code across domains—from networking prototypes at Amazon to cloud job distribution improvements at Cadence and legacy-modernization work in Ruby backends. A strong mathematical foundation and disciplined problem-solving help him deliver on tight deadlines and stressful projects while mentoring peers.
