Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKristi Belcher is a software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in high-performance computing, memory management, parallel programming, and GPU-focused optimization. Based at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, she brings hands-on expertise from research and industry internships at Oak Ridge, Qualcomm, and Apple, where she worked on Summit-scale experiments, OpenCL/Adreno tuning, and Metal ML ports. Her academic work—anchored by a MS from University of Oregon and a high-achieving BS in Computer Science—includes multi-GPU research demonstrating subtle performance impacts of memory vs. control-flow irregularity. A recognized community mentor (GHC2020, SC2020), she balances rigorous benchmarking with practical system design to extract performance on heterogeneous platforms. Notably, her background spans both device-targeting scientific visualization algorithms and low-level modem memory optimization, giving her a rare cross-domain perspective on performance engineering.
