Hello, my name is

Lorenzo Martinez.

I develop software.

I'm a software engineer with interests in machine learning, cybersecurity, and web development. I recently wrapped up three years at Amazon Web Services, where I built and operated systems behind EC2 Networking.

About Me

Hey there! My name is Lorenzo. I graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a B.S. in Computer Science in May 2023. Programming entered my life in 2016 when a professor transformed a random elective into something that has enraptured my brain since. From creating a barely functioning Brick Breaker replica to training an AI to do well at a Mario Kart equivalent, my journey through the ever-expanding world of computer science has come a long way.

Since then, I've worked as a software engineer at Amazon Web Services, first on the EC2 Blackfoot Automation team and later on the EC2 Blackpaw team. I've operated distributed systems managing 100,000+ networking devices, built telemetry and metrics tooling, and helped plan a worldwide infrastructure migration.

Outside of the realm of coding, I am interested in digital photography, weightlifting/athletics, and gaming. My game of choice at the moment is World of Warcraft. I love spending time with nature and my friends/family as much as possible.
