Zhaodong Kang

I'm currently a Software Development Engineer at Annapurna Labs (AWS), working on HW/SW co-design and chip validation for Trainium — AWS's custom ML training accelerator. My work focuses on chip validation through emulation and simulation, writing C++ test benches to verify data movement architecture and silicon bring-up.

Previously, I was a Software Engineer at Bank of America, where I built internal tooling and data quality systems for regulatory reporting in the Enterprise Stress Testing.

I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology (Major GPA: 4.0/4.0), with Faculty Honors and Dean's List recognition, and am currently pursuing my M.S. in CS there as well (GPA: 4.0/4.0).

Outside of work, I ski, do archery, and fish — visit my Beyond Work page to see more.
