AJ Pfeifer

Computer Engineering @ RIT · FPGA, AI hardware & full-stack builder

I'm AJ — a Computer Engineering student at RIT who likes building things that sit between hardware and software. From FPGA and embedded design to data pipelines and LLM-powered workflows, I'm happiest turning a messy problem into something that runs. I'm currently looking for a 2026 Summer/Fall internship or co-op.
