Ian J. Sawyer

I'm a computer science student at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, graduating May 2026. Most of my work has been at the lower levels of the stack; I'm currently part of a research team designing a microkernel OS from scratch, and I've previously implemented a UDP network stack and socket API for the Xv6 operating system. I'm drawn to the nitty-gritty details that high-level abstractions tend to hide.

Outside of school I like playing guitar, staying active with whatever sport is available (basketball, soccer, hiking, weightlifting, running, etc.), and spending too much time reading documentation and forums for configuring Neovim and my Linux environment.
