Some Past Work

• My original work on FakeTensor (an experimental C++ implementation in torchdistx) later became a fundamental conceptual building block of the torch.compile stack.
• I designed and authored the Deferred Lazy Initialization method in PyTorch that is now used by many training frameworks such as DeepSpeed and PyTorch Lightning.
• Following Myle Ott, I maintained fairseq for more than 3 years until its archival.
• I am also the author of fairseq2, the successor to fairseq, which is widely used within FAIR.
