Tamjeed Azad is a PhD student and graduate researcher at Princeton with nine years of experience bridging computer science research and industry software engineering. He has blended academic rigor—teaching systems courses and contributing to multiple university labs—with hands-on SDE internships at Amazon, giving him practical expertise in scalable systems and research-driven software. His background spans computational biology and engineering labs, reflecting an interdisciplinary approach to problem solving and experimental software. Based in New Jersey, he pairs strong CS fundamentals from Columbia (BS, magna cum laude) with ongoing doctoral work, and he’s comfortable moving between research, teaching, and production code. An understated strength is his sustained engagement in lab-based research since undergrad, which sharpens his ability to translate theoretical insights into implemented systems.
