Summary
Alex Hsu is a performance engineer specializing in software-hardware co-design to accelerate emerging applications, with a decade of experience spanning industry and academia. Based in Austin, he combines hands-on performance analysis at Rivos with ongoing PhD research in computer architecture at UT Austin, bringing rigorous simulation and measurement expertise to real-world designs. His internship pedigree includes GPU and memory-system performance roles at Apple, NVIDIA, and Intel, where he built data collection/visualization tooling and modeled architectural uplift. A former competitive programming (OI) participant turned ACMer, Alex pairs low-level hardware insight with practical software tooling skills. He also has a rare interdisciplinary background—dual BS degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering and Biochemistry—which informs a methodical, data-driven approach to problem solving.
