Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Francis-landau is a Staff Deep Learning Compiler Engineer with 16 years of experience bridging programming languages, compilers, and machine learning, currently developing compilers for custom ML accelerators at XPENG after roles at Cruise and General Motors. He holds a PhD from Johns Hopkins where he built novel declarative logic programming systems that influenced compact ML representations, and he repeatedly applies that research mindset to practical compiler problems like MLIR passes and automatic debugging tools that saved thousands of engineering hours. He has deep hands-on experience extending PyTorch, Torch-MLIR, and related open-source toolchains to deploy models on embedded systems and self-driving platforms. Early work on testing and payment integrations in the Liberapay repo shows a pragmatic attention to reliability and test automation that complements his compiler expertise. Based in Baltimore, he combines academic rigor with production-grade engineering to optimize tensor transformations and runtime stacks for real-world ML deployments.
