Summary
Cathal Corbett is a Senior Software Engineer based in Galway with four years of hands-on experience building machine learning compilers and GPU compute software at Arm. He progressed from graduate work on the open-source Arm NN and Android NN Driver to shipping production-facing ML and Mali DDK features, demonstrating a strong grounding in both research-grade HPC and embedded/accelerated inference. Skilled in improving robustness and test coverage, his open-source contributions include fixes and unit tests to prevent crashes in Arm NN FullyConnected layers—an attention to detail that reduces runtime errors in ML deployments. He holds a Master's in High Performance Computing with Data Science from the University of Edinburgh and brings practical HPC experience from a PRACE summer project monitoring Slurm job queues. Known as a self-starter with clear communication skills, he blends low-level systems engineering with a pragmatic focus on reliability and performance.
