What I'm looking for

I seek a technical role where I can lead engineering efforts in HPC/AI, optimize distributed GPU workloads, mentor teams, and drive measurable performance gains in a collaborative, innovation-focused environment.

I am a Senior Software Engineer with 7 years of experience building and optimizing high-performance computing and AI libraries, contributing substantially to open-source projects such as Modin and unidist. I focus on distributed computing frameworks (MPI, Ray, Dask) and GPU acceleration (CUDA, OpenCL) to deliver scalable, production-ready solutions that measurably improve performance.

I have led cross-functional teams, automated release processes, and implemented performance optimizations that produced up to 2x speedups versus pandas and up to 30% improvements in algorithm throughput. I emphasize mentorship, reproducible benchmarking, and pragmatic engineering to reduce manual effort and accelerate adoption of advanced compute technologies.
