Rahulbatra85
Worked on the ROCm/aiter repository to deliver high-performance deep learning kernels and quantization tooling for large language models and Mixture of Experts (MoE) workloads. Developed and optimized Triton and CUDA kernels for attention mechanisms, matrix multiplication, and quantization, including FP8, INT4, and MXFP4 formats, targeting efficient inference and training on AMD GPUs. Enhanced kernel configurability and observability through JSON-based configuration and integrated logging, while maintaining code quality with systematic refactoring and robust testing. Addressed stability and CI reliability by implementing compiler workarounds and test synchronization. Leveraged Python, C++, and Triton to support scalable, hardware-adaptive AI model deployment.
