Worked on the AMD-AGI/Primus repository to deliver backend features and infrastructure for large-scale deep learning training and deployment. Over six months, built and optimized distributed training workflows, including transformer throughput enhancements, memory-aware layer recomputation, and MaxText backend integration. Developed robust CI/CD pipelines and comprehensive unit and integration tests using Python, Shell, and YAML, improving reliability and deployment readiness. Refactored patch workflows for Docker image compatibility, streamlined configuration management, and enabled advanced debugging with XLA HLO dumps. The work emphasized scalable model training, maintainable codebases, and efficient deployment, leveraging skills in PyTorch, Docker, and high-performance computing environments.
March 2026 — AMD-AGI/Primus: Delivered a MaxText backend refactor to implement a register-patch workflow, enabling consistent patch application across Docker images and improving the structure of patch handling. Extended core and legacy workflow support to cover Docker image versions v25.9, v26.1, and legacy v26.1, reducing image-specific regressions and easing future updates. Result: more reliable deployments, lower maintenance costs, and a foundation for scalable patch-driven releases.

September 2025 – AMD-AGI/Primus: Delivered features that enhance transformer throughput and test reliability. Implemented Asynchronous Tensor Parallelism (async-tp) compatibility with the TE 2.x API and extended multi-stream GEMM overlap to enable concurrent GEMM and communication, improving Transformer performance. Expanded the Torchtitan Testing Framework with comprehensive unit and integration tests, plus new shell scripts and updated dependencies to boost reliability and robustness. These changes advance TE2 adoption, increase production confidence, and lay groundwork for further throughput optimizations. Technologies/skills demonstrated: TE 2.x API integration, async-tp optimization, multi-stream parallelism, comprehensive testing strategies (unit/integration), shell scripting, and dependency management.
