Nihal Pasham is a Senior System Software Engineer at NVIDIA and the author and maintainer of cuda-oxide, an open-source compiler that lets you write CUDA GPU kernels in plain Rust and compiles them straight to PTX. At NVIDIA, his job revolves around bringing memory-safe languages like Rust to the CUDA platform: designing and building compiler backends for NVIDIA GPUs, exploring what safe GPU kernel authoring can look like, and working with compiler teams across the company so everything interoperates cleanly. Before GPUs, Nihal spent a decade in embedded systems and hardware security at Bosch, Honeywell and others, writing firmware and drivers for crypto accelerators and secure elements. Nihal also shares educational open-source content on YouTube and is based in Bangalore, India.
