Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNavjot Kukreja is a software engineer specialising in machine learning platforms and high-performance computing, with 10 years of experience building infrastructure for large-scale ML and scientific workloads. He combines academic rigor from a PhD in Computational Science with hands-on MLOps and platform engineering—having implemented production data pipelines with Metaflow, Kubernetes and Terraform and shipped PyTorch and scikit-learn models for time-series forecasting in energy. Navjot has a strong background in DSLs and compiler-level code generation, contributing to Devito by building the generator that turns SymPy-based stencils into efficient C kernels for wave propagation. His career spans academia (Assistant Professor and visiting researcher roles) and industry, including founding a stealth startup and leading platform work at Wayve, reflecting an ability to move ideas from research to production. Based in London, he brings a rare mix of HPC performance tuning and practical MLOps, often focusing on the low-level, non-obvious bottlenecks that make large-scale ML systems actually run.

Contributions summary:Navjot is primarily focused on the Devito codebase's code generation and compilation features. They have built the `generator` class and related methods for handling and compiling C code stencils, the foundation of Devito. Their work involves building the interface from the Python code and SymPy based stencil definitions into executable C code and testing its functionality. This includes creating and testing different types of parameter handling to ensure the operators created can properly compute wave propogation stencils in 2D and 3D.
