Summary
Swapnil Suraj is a Senior Technical Program Manager based in the San Francisco Bay Area with 11 years of experience focused on improving large model training, tuning, and scaling by bridging model architecture, data movement, kernels, and hardware behavior. He has led cross-stack performance work at Google—owning TPU v7 and multi-generation GPU benchmarking and optimization—and previously drove product strategy for a compiler startup that delivered 30–40% performance gains versus CUDA/H100. Skilled at translating research needs into reproducible evaluation pipelines, he partners with researchers, compiler/runtime teams, and distributed systems engineers to remove bottlenecks across parallelism strategies, memory planning, and execution graphs. Swapnil combines product rigor (KPIs, SLAs, TCO frameworks) with hands-on performance analysis using traces and hardware counters, enabling faster, more predictable experimentation for ML teams. He’s equally experienced in datacenter readiness and hardware qualification programs, having led GPU platform integrations, storage qualifications, and colocated deployment efforts. Motivated by advancing model capability through smarter training dynamics, he brings both the infrastructure intuition and model-side focus that accelerates scientific iteration.
