Sharan Chetlur is a director-level engineering leader with 7 years of documented experience delivering high-performance software for AI and HPC at NVIDIA and Cerebras Systems. He has progressed from technical lead on cuDNN/cuBLAS primitives to senior engineering roles optimizing deep learning frameworks and LLM serving across GPU and datacenter scales. At Cerebras he led a 35-engineer kernels team building foundational operations for wafer-scale processors, and at NVIDIA he has driven MLPerf benchmark submissions and end-to-end model performance work. Sharan blends deep systems and algorithmic expertise (including GPU sparse direct methods) with hands-on leadership that aligns research-grade optimizations to production datacenter needs. He is based in the United States and known for scaling teams and codepaths that turn low-level primitives into measurable system-level gains. An understated through-line in his career is consistently translating specialized numerical and GPU research into deployable, high-throughput serving infrastructure.
