Surya Dwivedi is a software engineer with a decade of experience building ML-driven infrastructure and database features, currently shaping ads ranking and feature-testing systems at Meta. He holds an MS in Computer Science from UT Austin and contributed to CERN’s ROOT project by implementing and validating a GRU end-to-end model within the ROOT/TMVA ecosystem—highlighting hands-on ML research applied to large-scale scientific tooling. At Oracle he owned spatial 3D TIN/MESH creation and visualization features for the database org, blending backend, storage and geometry processing expertise. Known for driving efficiency, he launched a feature-testing framework at Meta that unlocked over $12M in infra savings via feature deprecations. Based in Austin, he is passionate about databases, backend systems and practical ML engineering.

Contributions summary:Surya implemented and tested a GRU (Gated Recurrent Unit) end-to-end model within the ROOT framework, including both CPU and reference implementations. The code changes involve the creation of a test suite for GRU backpropagation, demonstrating a focus on recurrent neural network architectures. The contributions cover forward and backward pass implementations for the GRU layer, and incorporate a test suite using the TMVA library to validate the implementation.
