[TYLER CHEN]
Software Engineer // Systems & Backend
// ABOUT
I specialize in vertical system architecture across multiple domains with special attention to software-hardware interfaces and LLM inference engines. Previously, I worked as a security researcher investigating AI agent communication protocols at [Huawei] and I developed embedded C++ AUTOSAR applications for [Ford]. I also previously worked as a backend developer at [Cortico] and [pixelpad.io].
I am currently investigating topics related to static binary translation, operating systems, and possible improvements to LLM inference performance anywhere from software to hardware. I can be reached at t47chen[at]uwaterloo[dot]ca for inquiry.
