Summary
Shiv Sundram is a software engineer and PhD candidate in computer science at Stanford with 12 years of experience building high-performance systems, compilers, and ML-enabled pipelines. He has production-hardened distributed and GPU-accelerated software at Lawrence Livermore (scaling molecular dynamics to >25k GPUs), optimized perception/inference stacks at Cruise, and contributed to cloud and cluster-computing projects at Microsoft. His research blends systems and compilers for HPC and ML under Fred Kjølstad, reflecting a practical focus on turning research into scalable, real-world code. Based in the Bay Area and self-described as a "vagabond" on GitHub, Shiv pairs deep applied math/CS training from UC Berkeley with hands-on experience across industry and national lab environments.
