How about work? I have some experience in compilers, GPUs, GPU compilers and machine learning. I worked on a machine learning compiler targeting deep learning models, I've worked on a machine learning system (self-driving) that and used compilers and GPU programming to speed it up. I developed custom GPU kernel libraries for a key module (sparse-convolution for the LiDAR backbone). Visualization tools for debugging training instability. And solving training instability issues, delivering better metrics. My work portfolio has more details on what I've done so far.
