## Work Experience
### Staff Engineer, Future-Gen RISC-V CPU Architecture and Performance Modeling @ Tenstorrent Inc.
Jan 2023 – Present | Marlborough, Massachusetts, United States
Crafting an evidence-based roadmap to build the highest-performance CPU cores

### PhD Candidate & Edwin Webster Fellow @ MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL)
Jan 2016 – Jan 2023 | Cambridge, MA
• Design and evaluate enhancements to the Swarm multicore architecture, using microarchitectural simulation. http://swarm.csail.mit.edu/
• Lead development of LLVM/Clang-based compilers targeting new hardware for massive parallelism. 
• Implement new language extensions and domain-specific languages for high-performance graph processing.

### Research Intern @ Microsoft
Jan 2021 – Jan 2021 | Redmond, Washington, United States
Build MLIR-based compiler and prototype code transformations to co-optimize communication and
computation in distributed GPU workloads such as model-parallel training and inference for enormous ML models.

### Research Intern @ NVIDIA
Jan 2018 – Jan 2018 | Westford, MA
Develop analytical modeling tool for design space exploration and code optimization for efficient execution of linear algebra and machine learning workloads on a range of specialized hardware architectures.

### Hardware Engineering Intern @ Pure Storage
Jan 2015 – Jan 2015 | Mountain View, CA
Modified firmware (C) and created tools (Python) for debugging prototype embedded system hardware through a serial connection. Functionality included a simple command line interface, resource utilization monitoring, a GDB server, and a binary packet protocol with parity checks for accessing device memory and dumping debug messages.

### Lab Writer and Lab Teaching Assistant @ Princeton University
Jan 2014 – Jan 2015
Rewrote lab assignments and introduced new software infrastructure for a class of 80 students. Taught Verilog and RTL design through projects such as prototyping a general-purpose processor on an FPGA.

### Software Engineering Intern @ Pure Storage
Jan 2014 – Jan 2014 | Mountain View, CA
Developed the first version of Pure Storage's Python client and OpenStack driver, which has since become a major feature of Pure Storage products: http://www.purestorage.com/solutions/infrastructure/openstack.html

See projects below.

### Technical Summer Intern @ Northrop Grumman Electronic Systems
Jan 2013 – Jan 2013 | Baltimore campus
Optimized designs of RF electronics using CAD software and simulation tools. Charactarized prototypes to identify suspect connections and components to be redesigned.

### Student Technician @ National Institute of Standards and Technology
Jan 2012 – Jan 2012 | Gaithersburg, MD
Developed software to automate optical scattering measurements as well as to model and correct for geometric distortions.
