Im Nam Le, a Vietnamese Performance Engineer living in the UK for the past ~7 years. I am currently studying Computer Science at Durham University. I just finished my 2nd year of my integrated Masters degree (MEng), and will be participating in the Jülich Supercomputing Centre Guest Student Programme, as well as SecureWorks internship programme in summer 2024.
We should forget about small efficiencies, say about 97% of the time: premature optimization is the root of all evil. Yet we should not pass up our opportunities in that critical 3%.
I live by the principles of writing fast, efficient, and hardware-friendly software, as I belive this is how one grows most as a software engineer. My research and career interests naturally reflects this principle.
- High Performance Computing
- GPU and Parallel programming
- Compiler optimization and Data Oriented Design
- Quantitative developer
- Low-latency programming
- Performance engineering
I always push my self to my utmost limit in everything I do, be it playing games or studying. It is therefore not surprising why my main interest in the field of Computer Science is with Performance Engineering 😅. In my free time, I usually enjoy reading classics/dystopian/sci-fi novels, or participate in lengthy (and nerdy 🤓) conversations with my university peers on various topics.
