Hi, I'm Swapnil Acharya πŸ‘‹

Systems software engineer interested in database internals, ML infrastructure, and performance-critical low-level software.

I work on and explore systems spanning vector/search infrastructure, GPU/CUDA programming, computer architecture, and hardware-aware software design.
I’m particularly interested in software that lives close to execution, memory, and hardware realities.


🀝 Looking for mentorship

I’m currently looking for opportunities to learn under and contribute to someone working on systems software internals, low-level infrastructure, or research-oriented systems engineering. I’d be glad to help in any capacity β€” implementation, experimentation, tooling, performance investigation, or related engineering work.


πŸš€ Current focus

  • Database and query execution systems
  • ML infrastructure and vector search
  • GPU systems and CUDA
  • Low-level performance engineering
  • Hardware-software co-design

🌟 Featured work

⚑ GPU / CUDA

  • TensaraCudaProblems
    CUDA problem solving, implementation, and profiling.

  • TinyDNN-CUDA
    CUDA-based neural network primitives and GPU-oriented performance exploration.

  • cudaJourney
    Ongoing hands-on exploration of CUDA programming and GPU systems concepts.

πŸ€– ML / Foundations


🧰 Modern tools I use

  • OpenAI Codex / Codex agents for iterative implementation, code exploration, and workflow acceleration
  • GitHub Copilot Pro
  • Claude Haiku via GitHub Copilot
  • AI-assisted workflows for prototyping, refactoring, test generation, and documentation refinement
  • 🀣🀣🀣 Lately, I’ve also spent a questionable amount of time tinkering with AGENTS.md to steer coding agents more effectively β€” mostly so a week of progress does not get undone by context limits. 😭😭😭

πŸ“What I enjoy

I like building systems where performance matters, internals matter, and hardware behavior influences software design.
