Experience

Modular ai

CEO + Co-Founder

Jan 2022 – Present · 4 yrs 2 mos · San Francisco Bay Area

The next generation of product breakthroughs will be powered by production quality infrastructure that brings together the best of compilers and runtimes, is designed for heterogeneous compute, edge to datacenter distribution, and is focused on usability. Unifying software and hardware with a "just works" approach will save developers enormous time and increase their velocity.
The fundamental research is done – but we just need a first-principles re-architecture of our systems. We need a team that is motivated to solve the “big problem” in a disciplined way and an architecture that deploys to both large and small systems alike. For me, this is an opportunity to do what I love best: building great technology, great teams and great products!

Sifive

President, Engineering and Product

Jan 2020 – Jan 2022 · 2 yrs · San Mateo, California

I led the Engineering and Product teams at SiFive, including the Hardware, Software, and Platform infrastructure that SiFive builds. SiFive leads the RISC-V community, and have a wide range of CPU cores (and other IPs), SoCs, and boards. In addition to hardware products, SiFive has an expanding set of software solutions, and industry leading methodology that it builds its products from.

Google

Senior Director / DEST: TensorFlow Infrastructure

Aug 2017 – Jan 2020 · 2 yrs 5 mos · Mountain View, CA

I led the TensorFlow Infrastructure team, including compiler and runtime support for CPUs, GPUs, and TPUs (Tensor Processing Unit) accelerators. I started and led the Swift for TensorFlow project, started and built the MLIR Compiler Infrastructure, built a new flexible and high performance runtime for TensorFlow (TFRT), and drove the cross-functional effort to launch Cloud TPUs. In addition, I managed many existing technologies including TensorFlow's graph transformation framework and preexisting runtime, the XLA compiler, etc.

Tesla

VP Autopilot Software

Jan 2017 – Jun 2017 · 5 mos

During my time leading the Autopilot Software team, we brought Autopilot for HW2 cars from a very early initial release to effective parity with HW1. This involved replacing a mature platform based on MobileEye technology with a completely new in-house design.

Apple

5 roles

Senior Director, Developer Tools Department

Promoted

Sep 2011 – Jan 2017 · 5 yrs 4 mos

I led the developer tools department at Apple (~200 people) which was responsible for Swift, Xcode, Swift Playgrounds, Instruments, CPU and GPU compilers, low-level tools, and other miscellanea. These tools are used pervasively both within Apple, but also by 3rd party developers targeting iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Senior Manager and Architect, Low Level Tools

Promoted

Sep 2009 – Sep 2011 · 2 yrs

Manager of Compilers and Low-Level Tools, Compiler Architect

Jul 2008 – Sep 2009 · 1 yr 2 mos

LLVM Compiler Group Manager and Compiler Architect

Promoted

Dec 2006 – Jul 2008 · 1 yr 7 mos

Senior Compiler Engineer and Tech Lead

Jun 2005 – Dec 2006 · 1 yr 6 mos

Llvm organization

Founder, Architect, Engineer and BDFL

Dec 2000 – Present · 25 yrs 3 mos

I created the LLVM.org project, drove it to its initial 1.0 release in 2003, and have managed it as it has expanded in scope to include over a dozen sub projects (including MLIR, clang, LLDB, compiler_rt, lld, an OpenMP runtime, etc). While the LLVM project has grown far beyond my own contributions, I am still the single most significant contributor by an order of magnitude: https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/graphs/contributors
