Ryan Job

Software Engineer

I'm Ryan Job, a software engineer currently finishing a master's degree at Colorado State University. My area of study is in high-performance computing, especially within the polyhedral model of computation. I've worked across a wide range of the computational hierarchy: hardware design in Verilog, parallel and distributed CPU/GPU programming, compiler development, and Windows GUI applications.

I've also published a short paper on the background work for the optimizations I'm creating within the polyhedral model as part of my thesis work.
