Ritwik Das is a software engineer based in Mountain View with nine years of experience building ML-driven systems for autonomous vehicles and cloud platforms. He has contributed to Waymo’s engineering efforts after roles at AWS, Lyft, and NVIDIA, where he worked on imitation learning and large-scale RL tooling. His open-source work on the Apache TVM compiler helped enable BYOC workflows by adding control-flow support and robust handling of free variables—improving compilation of if-else and while-let constructs. Comfortable across research and production, he has a strong robotics and CV background from Carnegie Mellon and hands-on experience shipping real-time vision systems and distributed services. Colleagues would note his mix of low-level compiler familiarity and applied ML expertise that bridges research prototypes to production deployments.

Contributions summary:Ritwik primarily contributed to the `TVM` compiler stack by implementing and testing features related to control flow and annotation targets. They focused on enabling the `BYOC` (Bring Your Own Compiler) workflow, specifically adding support for control flow within the annotation target. This included adding new test cases for `if-else` and `while-let` nodes to ensure correct compilation and transformation. Further contributions included fixing bugs within the annotation target and updating the code to support free variables of any size, enhancing the robustness of the compiler.
