👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolOwen Xu is a master's student in Computer Engineering at UIUC with a strong academic record and a decade of hands-on engineering experience across academia and industry. He combines teaching and mentoring—grading and tutoring 300+ students while producing Manim tutorials on dynamic programming—with practical software development work in Java, C, and cloud networking. His internships at AWS and AQR involved building reproducible customer-focused artifacts, from a Network Firewall micro guide to LLM-driven data retrieval tools. At Xuelang he implemented an efficient Java monitoring module, and earlier kernel and AI projects show comfort with low-level systems and applied machine learning. Owen is comfortable translating theory into production-ready tools and enjoys tackling hard problems independently while contributing effectively in team settings. Based in Champaign, he blends rigorous coursework, classroom pedagogy, and real-world engineering to accelerate both student learning and technical outcomes.
