About Ishan Patwardhan

I\'m a graduate student at Cornell CIS, passionate about building reliable, scalable, and efficient systems at the intersection of machine learning, distributed computing, and mathematical optimization.Previously, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, I worked on high-performance math infrastructure: benchmarking linear algebra and optimization kernels (QR, SVD, network flow) on exascale supercomputers, and automating containerized deployments across GPU clusters using Kubernetes and Helm. At MIT CSAIL, I’m contributing to Delta and SVD-based compression and deployment of large language models with Dagger.jl, focusing on latency reduction and memory efficiency. At IISc, I developed numerical solvers and implemented Kolmogorov–Arnold Networks for scientific modeling and PDE regression.My background bridges systems engineering and theoretical rigor: from building deployment frameworks and profiling distributed workloads to reasoning about convexity, stochasticity, and algorithmic stability.What I bring:1] Solid grounding in core CS concepts: data structures, operating systems, concurrency, distributed systems. 2] Experience building cloud-native and HPC infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Slurm, AWS3] Depth in numerical computing and ML infra: PyTorch, SVD, Training strategies like FSDP and DDP, JAX, KANs4] Exposure to financial systems: FIX protocol, Monte Carlo engines, volatility surfaces, Newton raphson modelsI’m looking to build robust systems, ML pipelines, and distributed platforms that move fast without breaking precision in environments where engineering clarity meets computational depth.
