Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolValeriy Rotan is a Senior AI HW Codesign Engineer based in the San Francisco Bay Area with eight years of experience bridging ML research and production hardware. Currently at Tesla, he focuses on model/ compiler co-design and system-level optimizations that have driven 10x scaling of in-car models while shaping quantization and SoC communication requirements for future accelerators. His background spans real-time neural rendering research with Prof. Hao Li at MBZUAI and practical avatar and 3D synthesis work at Pinscreen and VMware, giving him uncommon fluency across neural graphics and embedded inference. Valeriy has hands-on experience implementing SIMD optimizations, integer-MAC transformer approaches, and custom CUDA emulation for ASIC runtimes, and has filed patents in quantization and novel data types. He combines academic rigor from UC Berkeley with production-facing engineering at high-scale companies, often translating cutting-edge research into deployable systems.
