🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJeremi Piotrowski is a Principal Deep Learning Performance Engineer with 11 years of experience building and optimizing distributed systems, Linux stacks, and cloud-native infrastructure for large-scale training workloads. Currently at NVIDIA working on MLPerf Training, he previously led low-level OS, hypervisor and container efforts at Microsoft—contributing to AKS, KVM/Hyper-V optimizations, NVIDIA GPU Operator support, and Kata/Confidential Containers. His background spans SoC bring-up and Linux kernel driver development to secure HSM architecture and compliance, giving him a rare blend of hardware-near engineering and cloud-scale performance tuning. An active contributor to open source CI/CD and Kata Containers workflows, he has hands-on experience adapting complex build and test pipelines for ephemeral VM/container environments. Based in Eindhoven and grounded in physics (MSc), he combines rigorous analytical training with practical systems engineering to squeeze performance and security out of heterogeneous compute stacks.
