Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Ziegler is a software engineer with a decade of hands-on experience building performant, production-grade systems across ML platforms, UI, and security tooling. Currently at Databricks working on Genie Spaces and agents, he has prior internships and full-time experience optimizing ML infrastructure at Apple and Jump Trading and contributing to Databricks products. As a CS instructor and TA at UIUC, he improved educational tooling—rewriting a web security autograder to reduce grading time over 10x—and mentored teams through software design and algorithms courses. His work consistently targets measurable impact, like cutting upload and lookup latencies by orders of magnitude and shipping UIs used in production at scale. Based in Bellevue and enrolled in UIUC’s master’s program, he blends academic rigor with product-focused engineering. He’s equally comfortable diving into low-level performance bottlenecks and shaping developer-facing experiences.
