Tommy Van Der Vorst is a partner and senior researcher at Dialogic with 21 years of experience advising governments and enterprises on telecommunications, 5G and AI/ML strategy. He combines deep technical fluency and software development experience with policy-minded, data-driven research to rapidly prototype proofs-of-concept and performance-tuned models. His client portfolio spans OECD, ITU, Eurostat, major Dutch banks, regulators and ministries, reflecting strength in both public policy and commercial contexts. An active open-source contributor, he has contributed performance-focused Rust/WebGPU work to an ONNX runtime, bringing low-level optimization skills to high-level strategy. Outside work he balances technical hobbies—app development, electronics and video editing—with outdoor sports like snowboarding and road biking, and is learning Italian and cooking.
A WebGPU-accelerated ONNX inference run-time written 100% in Rust, ready for native and the web
Role in this project:
Back-end Developer and Performance Engineer
Contributions:6 releases, 34 reviews, 294 commits in 9 months
Contributions summary:Tommy primarily contributed to the development of a WebGPU-accelerated ONNX runtime in Rust, focusing on feature implementations and performance optimizations. They added functionality to the example code, integrated templates into the binary, and refactored the codebase to correct and improve shader execution. The user also made efforts to refine and clarify code, address bugs and add test cases for existing functions. The user optimized the model's computational performance through implementation of new shader code and other general optimization techniques.
