Hi, I'm Elton

I'm a Masters student at Georgia Tech.

Research

I'm interested in tackling problems at the intersection between programming languages and systems.

I'm currently working on the following projects:

• Replacing OCaml's GC with Perceus
  Advised by Daan Leijen
• Mudos, a novel device-driver model that gives the kernel more control over the virtualization and scheduling of compute devices like GPUs, TPUs, and custom accelerators
  Advised by Prof. Alexey Tumanov
• Neko, a quantum map-filter-reduce programming language
  Independent study
• Extending the AutoMPHC project to handle intra-node automatic parallelization of Python programs using OpenMP/CUDA
  Advised by Prof. Vivek Sarkar

During my undergrad I was part of the TINKER lab where I was advised by Prof. Thomas Conte and Dr. Jeff Young. While there, I wrote a space-efficient implementation of the quantum verification of matrix products (QVMP) algorithm.

Experience

I've interned on the Privacy Language Experience (PLex) team and the PyTorch Dev Infra team at Meta, and the Innovation Lab at NCR.
