Aidan O'Brien โ˜˜

~ $ Software engineer. CS @ UW-Madison.

Aidan O'Brien

I was a software engineer intern at Netflix on the Retention team this summer. Before that I was a founding engineer at Intelligible, building data connectors for an early-stage AI company.

I've also interned at CargoLabs and Collectwise (YC F'24), a YC agentic debt collection startup backed by 1984 Ventures.

When I'm not coding I'm on the mat training BJJ or losing rating on chess.com.
