Hello! I’m Akansha Bansal.

I work at the intersection of ML compilers and AI infrastructure, architecting systems that optimize machine learning workloads across hardware platforms. At AMD, my team develops the SHARK compiler infrastructure that powers AI model deployment for industry leaders including Tesla, Meta, and Google. I’m particularly drawn to the challenges of computational efficiency – from compiler optimizations to enterprise-scale distributed systems.

My engineering journey reflects the evolution of modern computing stacks. Starting with analog IP design for Intel’s microserver chips, I progressed to building enterprise infrastructure at Cisco, where I led WebEx’s 5X platform scaling during unprecedented growth. At TikTok, I architected video processing algorithms and generative AI tools that enhanced content creation for millions of users, while collaborating with Snapchat on inclusive camera features. Each role has deepened my expertise in building efficient, scalable systems across enterprise and consumer technologies.
