Introduction

I'm Connor Link, a computer engineer and avid hobbyist programmer. I love low-level technology, where I pursue compiler development, processor design, and computer graphics systems.

I attend Iowa State University as a Computer Engineering major and anticipate graduating in 2026 with a Bachelor's of Science degree.

An inquisitive self-starter, I challenge the status quo and develop comprehensive solutions to the most pressing issues. Through my leadership and project management skills, I drive high-level success by innovation with critical thinking, problem solving, and collaboration.

Mission Statement
