Mountain View, California, United States

Technical lead for the customer hardware (inference accelerator) evaluation Early Access Program(EAP). Work directly with customers to understand their AI workload needs and help them take full advantage of Lightmatter’s photonic technology for inference acceleration, delivering 99% fp32 accuracy using analog compute.Prototype, profile, and optimize.

Palo Alto, California, United States

Created and optimized client-specific solutions for Deep Learning (DL) workloads using an IPU strategy, delivering a customized end-product that maximized efficiency. Worked with software engineering to migrate an open-source quantum chemistry model to an IPU-based graph neural network (GNN). This was the first customer deployed IPU GNN, and reduced.

Wilsonville, Oregon, United States

Worked to formulate, develop, and integrate two custom DL models into Calibre’s computational lithography modeling tool, nmModelFlow. This improved the accuracy of existing customer models by fitting non-linear errors. Managed a multidisciplinary team as the beta product release owner.Migrated all production DL training and inference Tensorflow code from.

Portland, Oregon Area

Member of team that prototyped and developed the DL network used by the Calibre Machine Learning Optical Proximity (MLOPC) toolkit, that reduced time to train by 75% while maintaining optimal solution accuracy.Authored specs, testing plans, and implemented scripts to evaluate and authenticate the performance of the new HPC compute platform.

Hillsboro, Oregon, United States

Implementation and development of C++ - based algorithms and metrology solutions (recipes) to enable advanced optical photolithography fabrication techniques.Use of statistical DOE, data analysis techniques, and presentation skills to engineer integrated software solutions for complex, highly constrained problems under schedule pressure required to enable.
