New York, New York, United States
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolReid Atcheson is a research engineer with 12 years of experience specializing in numerical analysis, algorithm development, and high-performance implementation across CPUs, GPUs, and custom silicon. He has moved from academic research in high-order numerical wave propagation to production performance engineering—optimizing ML inference and whole-system latency for autonomous vehicles and developing hardware-agnostic libraries at NAG. Reid combines deep low-level tuning (NUMA, vectorization, cache) with practical porting and modernization work (Fortran→C++, CUDA/HIP), making legacy scientific code run efficiently on modern architectures. Now based in New York, he applies this stack-level mindset at Aquatic Capital Management, bringing monitoring and long-tail latency mitigation practices learned at Cruise. Colleagues can expect a blend of rigorous numerical background (PhD from Rice) and pragmatic, experiment-driven engineering—his public GitHub is a window into quick experiments while curated work lives on his website.
