Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSawyer Pollard is a physics and computer science graduate from Amherst College who blends experimental physics rigor with theoretical CS and systems design to build polished, user-focused products. With a decade of hands-on experience including internships at IBM, Zotero, and an NSF-funded ion trap lab, he has shipped full-stack systems, UHV control software, and machine-learning tools for model explanation and NLP entity disambiguation. He led a redesign of a college newspaper website that doubled monthly traffic, co-led a first-place HackUMass team from 600 participants, and developed real-time geodesic localization algorithms in acoustic research. Comfortable moving between low-level hardware control and abstract language theory, he draws on open-source principles and the humanities to craft practical, well-documented solutions. Based in New York, he brings a rare combination of lab-grade experimental validation and product-minded engineering to interdisciplinary problems.
