Hari Limaye is a software engineer based in London with five years' experience building high-performance and embedded systems, currently working on LLVM-A compiler optimizations at Arm. He contributes to prominent open-source projects — notably LLVM — improving AArch64 code generation and SIMD-aware lowering, and has helped advance Arm Mbed OS build and testing infrastructure for IoT devices. His background spans SIMD optimisation of video codecs, parallelising scientific agent-based simulations, and bringing software engineering best practices into research code, showing a knack for turning domain science into production-quality tooling. Comfortable across C/C++, Python, build systems and CI, he combines low-level code generation expertise with practical experience in unit testing and portability fixes, and has repeatedly delivered performance gains for both compilers and scientific software.

Role in this project:
Back-end Developer
Contributions:105 reviews, 64 PRs, 26 pushes in 11 months
Contributions summary:Hari primarily worked on improving code generation for the experimental.cttz.elts intrinsic, focusing on the AArch64 architecture. They extended support for more efficient lowering to fixed-width vector types and implemented changes to code generation utilizing BRKB + CNTP instruction sequences. Their contributions also included modifying test cases, specifically the analysis and cost model tests related to the intrinsic, to ensure correctness and test the performance of new implementations. Further contributions addressed recognizing shift until less-than idioms for optimization.
Arm Mbed OS is a platform operating system designed for the internet of things
Role in this project:
Embedded Systems Engineer / IoT Developer
Contributions:52 reviews, 23 commits, 7 PRs in 5 months
Contributions summary:Hari contributed to the Arm Mbed OS project by primarily focusing on improvements to the build system and unit testing infrastructure. Their work involved refactoring CMake files to enhance the compilation process for greentea tests, adding essential stubs and boilerplate code for unit tests, specifically for analogin and CAN functionalities, and ensuring better code coverage metrics. Furthermore, they addressed portability issues in the CAN and GPIO APIs by adapting the code to use uintptr_t for object IDs.
