My Resume
Background
I currently work at MangoBoost, and am helping the company turn ten years of academic research into the world's best Data Processing Unit.
Previously, I worked at Microsoft, where developed the model compiler for Brainwave, an FPGA-accelerated deep learning inference system that is used for Bing search and other cloud-based searches.
I have a PhD from the Computer Science department at Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked with Dr. James Hoe on using FPGAs for computing.
Prior to going to CMU, I spent eleven years at Salar, Inc, where I was a co-founder, Vice President of Technology, and sat on the Board of Directors.
I managed the development team, and worked on a number of interesting projects, including:
Research
My PhD thesis was about framework-level support for an accelerated data structure library for FPGAs.
I've also worked on compiling graph algorithms to FPGAs,
and using the CoRAM FPGA computing framework as a high level synthesis target.
