Summary
🎓
Top SchoolNikos Stavropoulos is a Senior Staff Compiler Engineer with eight years of deep expertise in LLVM, GPU ISAs, and hardware-software co-design, currently driving compiler and architecture integration at Qualcomm. He led development of a RISC-V based Neox GPU ISA and ported multiple proprietary VLIW and Nema series ISAs to LLVM, routinely squeezing performance via custom optimization passes and testing frameworks. Known for bridging teams, he pairs hands-on kernel and driver work with in-house support on assembly and compiler features to accelerate product delivery. An engineer who also improved documentation workflows (migrating to LaTeX) and built an ISA exploration tool that emits C, Verilog, and binutils headers, he brings pragmatic tooling alongside low-level compiler craftsmanship. Based in Patras, Greece, he’s the sort of compiler specialist who quietly surfaces hard-to-see performance wins across the stack.
