Zach Langley

I am currently building proof systems at Axiom.

I earned my PhD in theoretical computer science from Rutgers University in 2024, where I had the privilege of being advised by Aaron Bernstein.

Prior to that, I worked as a software engineer for six years, with roles at companies including Twitter and Color.

For additional information about my professional and academic background, please refer to my LinkedIn page. I am also available for contact via email at zblangley [at] gmail [dot] com.
