About
Hi! I’m Bennett Godinho-Nelson, a Software Engineer and full-time student at The Ohio State University. I’m currently pursuing a M.S. in Computer Science & Engineering, with an expected graduation date of May 2026. I graduated in May 2022 with my Associate’s of Science Degree alongside my highschool graduation. Additionally, I graduated with my B.S. in CSE May 2025 with a Mathematics Minor.
At Ohio State, I work as an Graduate Teaching Assistant, helping students with Software Development, Web Development, and Artificial Intelligence courses. These roles allows me to blend my passion for learning with my love for teaching.
In the past, I’ve had the opportunity to intern at JPMorgan Chase as a Software Engineer, where my team and I won “Best in Class” amongst 20+ intern projects across the program. I’ve also taken on leadership roles, including serving as the Student Representative for the CSE Undergraduate Studies Committee and leading the Software Development Club.
Last summer, I had the opportunity to work at Amazon as a Software Development Engineer Intern, where I designed and implemented data ingestion workflows, optimized LLM pipelines for 50x higher throughput, and integrated AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, S3, and Bedrock across multiple production pipelines. I also benchmarked large datasets, and contributed to projected operational savings of $3M by Q4 2028. This experience deepened my understanding of scalable software systems, cloud architecture, and LLM applications, and I am excited to likely be returning to Amazon in a full-time SDE role after graduation.
My interests cover a wide range of areas, including Artificial Intelligence, Distributed Systems, Full-stack Development, Cloud Computing, and Network Science. I have experience with several programming languages and technologies, such as Java, JavaScript, Ruby, Python, and C.
Outside of my academic and engineering pursuits, I enjoy learning about dinosaurs, biking, and modding my Nintendo 3DS. I also have a twin brother who studies Mechanical Engineering at The University of Cincinnati.
