Chris Lattner is a senior director at Google working on several
projects including CPU, GPU, TPU accelerators for TensorFlow,
Swift for TensorFlow, and all kinds of machine learning compiler
magic going on behind the scenes. He is one of the top experts in
the world on compiler technologies, which means he deeply
understands the intricacies of how hardware and software come
together to create efficient code. He created the LLVM compiler
infrastructure project and the CLang compiler. He led major
engineering efforts at Apple, including the creation of the Swift
programming language. He also briefly spent time at Tesla as VP
of Autopilot Software during the transition from Autopilot
hardware 1 to hardware 2, when Tesla essentially started from
scratch to build an in-house software infrastructure for
Autopilot. If you would like to get more information about
