Ana Pazos
Principal Engineer, Manager at Qualcomm
California, United States
Summary
🤩
RockstarAna Pazos is a Principal Engineer and manager at Qualcomm with 12+ years of experience designing and shipping performance-critical software for ARM platforms. She combines technical leadership with deep compiler and back-end expertise, having contributed Clang support for AArch64 NEON intrinsics and codegen enhancements that enabled new instructions and processor targets like Krait. Based in California, she blends systems-level optimization with team coaching to deliver robust, production-ready solutions across mobile and embedded toolchains. Her open-source work on the llvm/clang mirror reflects a practical focus on low-level correctness and measurable performance gains rather than merely academic contributions. Colleagues rely on her to translate complex architecture constraints into maintainable compiler implementations and roadmap-driven engineering decisions.

Contributions summary:Ana implemented and modified a series of AArch64 Neon intrinsics, which included scalar and lane operations for floating-point and integer types. They also contributed to the code generation for these intrinsics within the Clang compiler, specifically in the `CGBuiltin.cpp` and test files, extending support for new instructions like `vmulx`, `vfma`, and `vdup`. Furthermore, they added support for the Krait processor. This indicates a focus on compiler development and optimization for ARM architecture.
