Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAiden Grossman is a student researcher and machine-learning-in-compilers engineer with eight years of hands-on experience in build systems, compiler tooling, and automation. Currently at Google working on ML-guided compiler optimizations, he previously advanced ML-driven register allocation and training infrastructure during a Google Summer of Code project and an internship at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. His open-source contributions to high-profile projects like LLVM and Spack demonstrate deep back-end and DevOps expertise—fixing stability, build, and compiler-compatibility issues that prevent resource leaks and keep large toolchains reproducible. Aiden combines research rigor with practical engineering: he writes patches and unit tests, refactors Bazel rules, and tunes builds for evolving compilers such as Clang 15/16. Based in Modesto and studying at UC Davis, he’s comfortable bridging experimental ML techniques with the gritty details of real-world compiler and packaging infrastructure.

Jul 2023 - Apr 2024
A flexible package manager that supports multiple versions, configurations, platforms, and compilers.
Role in this project:Automation Engineer / Build & Release Engineer
Automation Engineer / Build & Release EngineerContributions:11 reviews, 34 PRs, 49 comments in 8 months
Contributions summary:Aiden primarily contributed to the package management system by fixing build issues caused by compiler updates, specifically Clang 15 and 16. They added flags and patches to resolve errors related to implicit function declarations, implicit integers, and the use of the `register` keyword. The contributions indicate a focus on ensuring compatibility and maintainability of the package build process across different compiler versions.
