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 systems — particularly inference acceleration, test-time compute, and reinforcement learning. Sometimes I like to write about these topics on my blog.

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