Hi, I'm
Wesley Dalton
I build.
Software engineer and CS & History student at the University of Pennsylvania. I work across full-stack, machine learning, and cloud infrastructure — most recently at Anduril and A-Life.

01 / About
The short version
I'm a software engineer who likes turning ambiguous problems into systems people actually rely on. My work spans full-stack product engineering, applied machine learning, and the cloud infrastructure that ties them together.
Right now I'm a SWE intern at Anduril, and before that A-Life. Along the way I've shipped products at early-stage startups, fine-tuned models for real users, and led engineering teams through Penn's AI Business Club.
I study Computer Science & History at Penn — the second half of that is on purpose. When I'm not shipping, I'm usually deep in a history book or hunting down new music.
