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...
