Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolCody Wang is a Software Development Engineer with six years at AWS, currently a founding member of the Amazon Braket quantum computing team where he helped shape the service vision and build the Braket SDK and hardware integration components. He combines production systems experience—having worked on a highly available, transactional, log-first database that powers core AWS services—with deep quantum software expertise, acting as the engineering team's quantum theory subject-matter expert and running internal education programs. Cody contributes to open-source Braket examples and has implemented VQE chemistry circuits and noise simulations, demonstrating both practical quantum-circuit design and full-stack development skills. Trained as a chemical engineer and an accomplished pianist (ARCT), he brings an uncommon mix of analytical rigor and creative discipline to building developer tools for emerging quantum hardware.
