Hey! 🤟🏽
I'm Mihir Patil

Currently, I'm a senior at Purdue University majoring in Computer Science and Math. Recently, I helped design the compiler backend for AI5 at Tesla.

My Experience

Tesla

From spring-summer 2025, I interned at Tesla, focusing on the next-generation AI5 chip. In spring, I was on the silicon validation team, where I developed firmware to validate different IP blocks including the GPU and UFS controller. Over the summer, I worked on the Autopilot compiler team, where I helped design the compiler for AI5's neural network accelerator.

Purdue Space Program

As a lead of the avionics subteam of Purdue Space Program Liquids, I helped develop flight software for the team's latest rocket, the CraterMaker Special. This rocket is the most advanced embedded systems project I've worked on, and I have learned about the intricacies of communication protocols, the RP2040 microcontroller, and high-speed PCB design. I also led the development of a real-time telemetry analytics solution, using InfluxDB, Telegraf, and a custom charting dashboard.

In Purdue's b01lers CTF team, I worked on various challenges, focusing on web and blockchain. We recently competed in the 2023 Raymond James CTF and placed 1st out of 20 teams.
