Akshay Joshi

Profile

I am a Master's student at Carnegie Mellon University, specializing in Computer Systems and Networking. My interests are centered around parallel systems, whether that’s multi-core CPUs, GPU clusters or distributed data centers. Today’s computing is built on massive parallelism and performance depends not just on compute power, but also on how efficiently these compute units communicate with each other. That’s the space I’m excited about: the intersection of compute and communication.

My technical toolkit includes C/C++, Go, Python, Java, CUDA, OpenMP, MPI, and a deep familiarity with Linux, networking stacks, and performance engineering. I am eager to explore roles in system software engineering, network engineering, or data center networking, where I can contribute to building the next generation of computing infrastructure.
