Seher Ellis is a compiler-focused software engineer with eight years of experience building scalable systems for specialized hardware, currently working on horizontal scaling for TPUs at Google. Her background blends rigorous academic research—a PhD and MS in Computer Engineering from Bilkent University—with hands-on roles at national labs (Oak Ridge, Sandia) where she translated research into production-capable tooling. She has deep expertise in compiler engineering and performance optimization for high-performance computing workloads, and a track record of moving algorithms from prototype to scalable deployments. Based in Knoxville, Tennessee, she combines research instincts with pragmatic engineering to tackle bottlenecks in distributed accelerator pipelines. An uncommon strength is her sustained academic-to-industry trajectory, giving her both theoretical depth and practical delivery experience.
