Patrick May

Hello!

My name is Patrick, I am a junior software engineer with a bachelors degree in computer science from the College of Wooster, with minors in mathematics and music. I am currently employed as a full stack software engineer for the Bank of New York, specifically, Pershing X. Much of my development time is spent on Wove. My personal interests in the software development world are of programming languages, program analysis (both profiling and static methods), and developer experience. My quest of understanding the many abstractions in modern day software is neverending. I play my cello and enjoy a good game of Magic: the Gathering as outlets for my artistic side. Currently, I am transitioning from my undergraduate experience to full time work in my field of study (an incredibly lucky position).

In my final year of undergrad, I completed my Senior Independent Thesis as part of my requirements for graduation. I personally find energy costs of programming to be a fascinating area of research, so my senior thesis ended up being a preliminary expedition into the field of static analysis in the context of energy modeling of the ARM assembly language. As a junior, I investigated dynamic program analysis by creating a simple profiling tool Prof.

In the summer of 2023, I gained a lot of experience as a quality assurance automation intern working at WebstaurantStore. More insights about my most recent summer experience can be found in my blog post here.

In the summer of 2022, I learned a lot performing novel research as part of Carnegie Mellon’s REUSE 2022 Cohort, in which I did secure programming research in education with the guidance of Dr. Hanan Hibshi.

Feel free to reach out if any questions arise when perusing my portfolio – happy to network about computer science, academica, being a developer, etc. etc.
