Top SchoolQuinn Smith is a software engineer with nine years of experience building large-scale database and distributed systems, currently working on Aurora DSQL at AWS in Seattle.

Past internships at Intel and university research roles show a mix of systems-level C++ work, analytics infrastructure improvements, and applied research in FPGA simulation and reinforcement learning for drone planning.
