Summary
Roman Tereshin is a Staff Software Engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in compiler backends, HW/SW co-design, and performance optimization for GPUs and AI accelerators. He has driven production and pre-silicon compiler work at Apple and Meta and was a founding engineer at an AI accelerator startup acquired by AMD, blending low-level assembly/GEMM tuning with product and go-to-market responsibilities. Roman’s background spans building novel DSLs and bitemporal rule engines earlier in his career, reflecting deep systems thinking beyond just hardware compilers. Based in San Jose, he excels at translating silicon constraints into compiler strategies and is comfortable leading both technical design and early-stage operational needs. Notably, he has repeatedly worked across pre-silicon projects to shipping silicon, giving him rare end-to-end experience from research to deployed hardware.
