Filip Jeremic is a Principal Engineering Manager at Qualcomm with 12 years of systems and compiler-focused software engineering experience, now leading teams that apply ML and data science to predict and optimize performance of ML operations on Qualcomm hardware. He previously served as a committer and top contributor on IBM’s Eclipse OpenJ9 and Eclipse OMR projects, driving cross-platform JIT compiler design and backend code generation that shipped Java 11 and 17 LTS releases. Filip’s strengths span static and dynamic compiler development, low-level performance engineering across architectures (x86, ARM, AArch64, RISC-V, Power, z/Architecture), and production ML compilers that improve inference latency. He blends hands-on systems programming with people leadership—mentoring engineers while preserving a deep technical lens on deliverables. Notably, his open-source work includes core contributions to Eclipse OMR’s runtime components and parser toolchain that addressed platform-specific codegen and performance issues. He holds an M.Eng. in Computer Science from McMaster and combines academic rigor with a practical track record of shipping high-performance runtime systems.
