RockstarEugene Burmako is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 15 years of experience building compilers and ML infrastructure, currently working on ML compilers and the TPU software stack at Google. He cofounded StableHLO and was a founding member of OpenXLA, combining deep compiler expertise with practical portability solutions for ML frameworks and accelerators. Previously he led and optimized Meta’s MTIA compiler and performance efforts, and earlier contributed extensively to the Scala compiler and ecosystem (notably scalafix and scalameta). His background blends research (PhD-level work at EPFL) with production engineering across Google, Meta, and Twitter, evidencing both technical leadership and hands-on implementation. Beyond leadership roles, Eugene’s open-source track record shows sustained low-level systems work and tooling improvements that improve portability and performance across ML and language toolchains.
