Senior🎓
Top SchoolSkand Hurkat is a computer architect with 14 years of experience who currently characterizes workloads in emerging domains at NVIDIA. He transitioned from multi-faceted engineering roles at Microsoft—spanning senior software and hardware engineering—to focus on architecture, bringing a strong systems and hardware-software co-design perspective. His academic background includes a Ph.D. and M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from Cornell and a B.Tech. from IIT Bombay, with early research on hardware-friendly inference for grid-like Markov random fields. Skand pairs deep research experience with practical engineering delivery, having prototyped novel interfaces and gesture models during earlier research appointments. Based in Bellevue, Washington, he is comfortable bridging low-level hardware considerations and high-level workload characterization to influence next-generation accelerators. Colleagues would note his uncommon combination of formal probabilistic modeling insight and hands-on hardware implementation experience.
