Ian Cooper
About
Hello, I'm Ian Cooper!
I graduated from UW-Whitewater spring of 2026 with degrees in mathematics and computer science. I am now a software engineer at Acuity Insurance and I am working to publish my undergraduate research in fault-tolerant decentralized learning systems.
I love working on software that allows other people to create new things they could not have made otherwise.
Outside of computer science, I create rock music, 3d models, and have a love for pure math, specifically topology and geometry. I also love a good kayaking trip when my schedule lets me come out from my cave.
If something here catches your attention, feel free to reach out.
