About Me

Hi, and welcome to my website! My name is Aidan Sims and I'm currently a Forward Deployed Engineer at Scale AI. Previously, I was at Cornell University, where I received a M.Eng. in Engineering Physics and a B.A. in Computer Science (with a minor in Business). I received the Henri S. Sack Memorial Award for best academic performance by a Engineering Physics Master's student.

At Cornell, I was a member of Mark Wilde's Quantum Information Science research group, where I worked on quantum algorithms. I led a collaboration with the R-Lab from UC Davis where we developed two quantum algorithms to simulate the dynamics of a cavity QED model called the Open Tavis-Cummings model.

I've gained practical software engineering experience through prior internships at Capital One and AstraZeneca. At Capital One, I worked in the commercial banking division, developing backend Python algorithms for an internal tool which analyzes large, complex cash management reporting files. At AstraZeneca, I worked on a tool which tracks shipments of their rare disease treatments to patients across the world.

In my free time, I enjoy cooking, playing tennis, watching baseball and tennis, and weightlifting. Feel free to check out my resume in the top right corner and reach out through email or LinkedIn.
