About Me

Hi, I'm Gavin Sonntag!

I'm a second-year undergraduate at UCLA studying Computer Science & Engineering (3.71 GPA, expected June 2028).

Last summer, I joined Amazon Web Services as a Software Development Engineer Intern on the Key Management Service team in Seattle, WA. Throughout this internship, I developed an internal tool that is now in use by all AWS service teams, while learning from top engineers in the industry at one of the largest technology companies in the world.

I am currently a researcher in the Programmable Software Systems Lab at UCLA, advised by Prof. Konstantinos Kallas, where I am researching remembering JIT optimizations across serverless invocations in the JVM.

I am also an organizer for LA Hacks, Southern California's largest hackathon. On the Technology team, I've built the applicant tracking system and used Supabase to architect a backend that served 8,000+ applicants.

My interests include systems programming, applied AI, and programming languages. I'm always open to build something if a good opportunity comes around. Check out my LinkedIn and GitHub, or shoot me an email at [email protected]!
