Summary
Connor Zwick is a Software Development Engineer II at AWS Nitro with nine years of hands-on experience building low-level systems and cloud services. He moved up from SDE I to his current role after contributing to OS and hypervisor projects as an undergraduate researcher, including a network driver for RedLeaf and a Rust-based seL4-inspired hypervisor. Comfortable across the stack, he has production experience with microservices, Kubernetes, ArgoCD, React frontends, and REST APIs from his UC Irvine work supporting campus IT. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Connor pairs curiosity-driven experimentation with pragmatic engineering, and outside of code he applies the same meticulous attention to detail to reef keeping and training his dog on long walks. An engineer who blends systems-level thinking with user-focused tooling, he reliably moves research prototypes toward reliable, deployable services.
