Hey, I'm Jan. I design and build distributed systems.
Currently working at Amazon, as SDE specializing in distributed systems applied to real world problems. Recent graduate of UCSD where I explored the magic of Systems & AI.
I also collaborate with Contextual Robotics Institute to publish real-world robotic application, as well as partner with Lazarski University on AI applications in medicine. For my recent works, please see: Planning for Tabletop Object Rearrangement, PWB treatment analyses paper
