June 2026 focused on strengthening GPU testing for PA token IDs in aobolensk/openvino by refactoring tests to compare against a reference implementation and aligning that reference with the GPU plugin's key/value cache layout. This establishes a reliable foundation for PA GPU token IDs unit tests, improves test accuracy, and reduces GPU-path regressions. The change is captured in commit c337f519f443f5e633bbde987dd89ef93a4576a6, and ties to CVS-188165 and CVS-185182. Demonstrated skills include test automation, GPU/plugin integration, refactoring, and AI-assisted development.

May 2026 performance-focused sprint across two OpenVINO forks. Key features delivered include (1) GPU Inverse Error Function (erfinv) for GPU in openvinotoolkit/openvino, enabling accurate inverse error computations for ML workloads, (2) Paged Attention Kernel optimization in aobolensk/openvino, reducing bidirectional mask calculation overhead from ~30% to <0.6% and enabling full workgroup cooperation for token processing.
