Software Engineer
Profile

Software engineer working close to the metal on next-generation AI accelerator hardware. I build and optimize low-level compute kernels, profile and benchmark tensor operations, and hunt bottlenecks across the stack to drive device throughput — and own end-to-end model tracing and validation plus the tooling and infrastructure around it.

Experience
Software EngineerJun 2023 – Present
MulticoreWare Pvt Ltd · Chennai, India
  • Software engineering for a leading AI silicon company’s accelerator stack — developing and optimizing the software that runs on next-generation AI chips.
  • Work as part of an element-wise operations team — contributing kernel development, code review, and CI health for unary/binary element-wise ops.
  • Author and optimize low-level compute kernels with broad data-type coverage (fp32, bf16, int32, uint8/16/32) and hardware-specific instruction-level work verified against ISA documentation.
  • Own end-to-end model tracing and validation with sweeps — reconstructing real model operation traces from a database and validating them against generated sweep tests for exact-match coverage.
  • Profile and benchmark kernels with the device profiler, tracking kernel execution time and diagnosing per-core load imbalance to guide optimization.
  • Maintain performance-tracking automation and daily/weekly reporting pipelines that flag regressions against historical baselines and correlate them to commits.
Industrial Project EngineerJun 2022 – May 2023
Lenovo Pvt Ltd · Pondicherry, India
  • Developed and maintained a smart attendance system using face-recognition technology with database integration.
  • Built an ESD tester with database-backed logging for real-time test workflows.
  • Worked on computer-vision algorithms, biometric authentication, and real-time data processing.
Projects
ttperf — AI-Accelerator Performance Profiler
CLI tool that profiles AI-accelerator compute tests and extracts device kernel performance metrics. Wraps the device profiler with pytest, parses result CSVs, and reports total kernel duration. Published on PyPI. Python · pytest · PyPIttperf.aswincloud.com
Eltwise Performance Tracker
Day-by-day performance monitoring for element-wise operations on AI-accelerator hardware — tracks kernel-timing trends across dates, correlates regressions to git commits, and sends automated alerts on >20% changes. ttnn-eltwise-performance.aswincloud.com
Academic Projects — B.Tech ECE
Embedded & hardware builds: DDS-based portable function generator (up to 12 MHz), Arduino-based portable oscilloscope, 0–30 V / 0–2 A regulated power supply, and a non-contact AC/DC line tester.
