About me

I’m Wuwen Wang, a software engineer working on Bytehouse, a cloud-native version of Clickhouse brought by Bytedance, featuring compute and storage separation. I received my master’s degree in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and my bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering from UIUC.

I was a member of Carnegie Mellon Database Group and had a great time working with Prof. Andy Pavlo. During my time at CMU DB, I have been a developer for NoisePage, the self-driving in-memory database we developed at CMU.

In my spare time, I’ve dedicated myself to enhance the algorithm skills. For an insightful glimpse into this journey, feel free to explore my GitHub repo, where you’ll find a comprehensive collection of algorithm templates for coding contests. Additionally, I’m collaborating with a talented group of friends on an exciting closed-source project, combining the Rust and Flutter. Stay tuned!

If you’re interested in collaborating or if there’s any information you need, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
