Kent Umut

I'm a computer science student at ETH Zürich. I've been building software since my early teens, from sneaker bots to voice AI agents on auto-scaling AWS infrastructure. These days I'm most interested in performance: latency, systems, and the machinery underneath the stack. I also organize speaker events at the Claude Builder Club ETH Zürich.
