Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBasit Ayantunde is a Senior Software Engineer based in London with 8 years of hands-on experience building high-performance, low-level systems in C++, CUDA, and embedded C. Currently at NVIDIA, he focuses on GPU-accelerated libraries and has contributed to rapidsai/cudf by improving safety, stream ordering, and benchmarking—work that directly impacts data-frame performance on GPUs. He brings practical systems experience from roles at Codethink and Goldman Sachs, where he cut latencies and re-architected services for significant performance gains. An active participant in the ISO C++ WG21 committee, he provides implementation-driven feedback on std::expected informed by real-world library usage. His background spans mixed-reality plugin engineering at Microsoft to embedded firmware and TFLite testing, revealing a rare blend of low-level optimization and applied machine-learning tooling. Collectedly, he combines standards-level perspective with production-grade GPU and embedded systems engineering.
