Senior Software Engineer at NVIDIA optimizing a C++/CUDA inference pipeline that increased GPU throughput by 28%.

United States
Message

At NVIDIA, I optimized a C++/CUDA inference pipeline across 1.2 million samples, increasing GPU throughput by 28% and reducing p95 latency by 21%.

I also containerized GPU-backed services and standardized Kubernetes deployment checks, cutting average release time from 45 to 18 minutes while sustaining 99.95% service availability.

At Tesla, I developed Python services and Angular dashboards for telemetry workflows processing approximately 2.5 million events per day. I also evaluated an anomaly-detection workflow that reached 91% precision after threshold tuning.

At Google and Arista Networks, I built APIs, ML-assisted ranking workflows, and network-automation tools, alongside work on service reliability and automated testing. Earlier, as a Research Assistant at Stony Brook University, I conducted Python-based research experiments and developed a departmental application.
