About

At NVIDIA I'm interested in improving free software and open source compilers such as GCC and LLVM respectively for Grace. I'm hiring currently for experienced engineers interested in optimising GNU Toolchain and Clang / LLVM for Grace. See positions here UK and EU compiler positions for Clang and GCC https://tinyurl.com/ukllvmgrace https://tinyurl.com/ukeugccgrace India compiler positions https://tinyurl.com/indgccgrace https://tinyurl.com/indclanggrace I'm an experienced compiler engineering leader with a range of experience in leading compiler teams on various Free Software and Open source compilers such as GNU toolchain, LLVM and Apache TVM. I have an interest in the evolution of CPU architectures and compiler support for them and you'd find a geek who likes software , hardware and living at the edge between the 2. Currently enjoying building a team to accelerate applications for CPUs and working alongside them to make compilers go faster makes my day !
