Philip Park

Hi, I’m Philip Park.

Currently, I’m a Software Engineer @ Google, working in Core AI Foundations based in the NYC office. I work as a backend engineer in a voice and messaging infrastructure team.

I got my bachelors in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) with honors (Cum Laude).

Professionally: I’m interested in backend engineering, computer systems, C++, distributed systems, and AI engineering.

Personally: I’d describe myself as an autodidact, a forever learner and student, an avid reader, and ambitious. I absolutely love a good struggle of solving a problem, whether it’s a coding problem, a chess problem, or another mental sport.

In the past I was a

  • Swe intern @ Google. same team as my full-time.
  • Swe intern @ a NYC based SAAS startup
  • RPI CS tutor - held open office hours for 2 freshmen courses: Intro to CS, and Data Structures.
  • President of RPI’s Chess Club - helped found this club from the ground up, discord mod for a 400+ member server, otb tournament manager.
  • Chess.com College Ambassador - basically a glorified free Chess.com merch and membership distributor to my fellow students.
  • Member of UPE (Cs Honor’s Society) - helped review resumes during career fairs, wrote some problems for our university competitive programming contest, etc.
  • Open source developer for RCOS (Rensselaer center for open source) - a pretty well known aspect of my university is our open source community.

In my free time, I write, jam with my guitar, and read.
