Hi, I'm Hunter šŸ‘‹

I'm a student at Duke University pursuing both my B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science, graduating in May 2026. I'm also a software engineer passionate about systems, performance, and writing well-structured code. I spent this past summer interning at IMC Trading, and will soon be joining Optiver upon graduation, where I'll be focusing on C/C++ and ultra-low-latency systems. Outside of work, I enjoy studying foreign languages, going out with friends, and singing a cappella.
