Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSayef Sakin is a research-driven software engineer and PhD candidate with 11 years of experience building scalable systems for large-scale data visualization, performance analysis, and high-performance computing. Currently a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Utah, he focuses on visualizing massive trace data from task-parallel programs and evaluating data structures and techniques to minimize visual latency. His internships at Los Alamos, PNNL, and Argonne involved integrating profiling and tracing tools (e.g., TAU), improving developer workflows for code-performance tracking across commits, and porting optimization code to Exascale systems like Frontier and Summit. Prior industry roles saw him lead backend, storage, and application-server work, giving him practical full-stack and ops experience that complements his research. He combines deep academic rigor with hands-on HPC deployments, and is particularly practiced at turning complex trace and metadata challenges into actionable visualization and tooling improvements.
