Worked on the Lightning-AI/lightning-thunder repository, focusing on deep learning infrastructure and gradient computation reliability. Delivered features that optimized the JVP path for gradient testing using PyTorch’s torch.func.jvp, with a numerical fallback to handle unstable cases, and refactored tensor conversion logic to ensure consistent gradient tracking during NumPy-to-Tensor operations. Enhanced the cuDNN executor checker to validate embedding dimensions for scaled dot-product attention, improving compatibility and performance across GPU architectures and cuDNN versions. Emphasized code refactoring, GPU programming, and robust testing practices in Python, resulting in more reliable model training and deployment workflows for deep learning applications.
