Hi, I'm Ayush.

I work on Optimus autonomy as part of the Autopilot team at Tesla. Previously, I worked on the low-latency systematic futures desk at Citadel Securities.

I studied computer science at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where I researched store-aware allocation for accelerated neural network training on GPUs.

I'm interested in the intersection of machine learning and high-performance systems — particularly in inference acceleration, test-time compute, and reinforcement learning. If you'd like to read my writings on these topics, see my blog.

If you'd like to connect, find me at gundawar at gatech.edu or x.com/ayushgun.
