Hi, I'm Aidan Friedsam

I'm a Computer Science student at the University of Michigan with a passion for software development and problem-solving. My journey in tech began during high school where I co-taught a web development minicourse, and I've been expanding my skills ever since.

I've had the opportunity to work with companies like Datadog, Ninth Wave, and Meetup, where I've gained valuable experience in software engineering, data engineering, and full-stack development. I'm particularly interested in building scalable applications and exploring new technologies.

I was recently selected to attend the AI Startup School, a free, invite-only conference in San Francisco featuring talks from top AI experts and founders, including Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, Sam Altman, Andrej Karpathy, Andrew Ng, and many more. Every attendee is hand-picked, and I am excited to be a part of this community of AI-focused students and professionals.

Outside of coding, I'm an athlete who has played varsity football, swimming, and lacrosse. I've also completed the 4x4x48 challenge twice, running four miles every four hours for 48 hours to raise over $20,000 for charity. After graduation, I will be backpacking in Asia for 5 weeks and training for a half Ironman.
