Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNitish Srivastava is a Staff Research Engineer based in New York with 11 years of experience building high-performance compilers and domain-specific accelerators for tensor and ML workloads. After a PhD at Cornell where he developed T2S-Tensor and multiple custom accelerators for sparse and dense tensor computation, he spent several years at Google optimizing the Edge TPU compiler for Pixel devices before joining Meta Reality Labs. He combines deep hardware-aware compiler expertise with practical production experience shipping compiler toolchains and accelerator-aware optimizations. Colleagues rely on him to bridge research prototypes and product-ready systems, especially for sparse-dense mixed workloads and memory-efficient formats. A subtle strength is his track record of turning academic innovations (like MatRaptor and C2SR) into engineering artifacts that influence real-world ML acceleration.
