Nguyen Le

Hi, I'm Nguyen! I'm currently working at nvidia in the BioNeMo team (mostly on this project: BioNeMo-Inference-Runtime). Before that I studied AI at VNUHCM-University of Science (HCMUS), the best investment in myself I have made.

my AI class (with honor class), can you find where I am? :) 2022 — my uni class, 2022. can you find where I am :>

Maybe you know me from my blog on kernels (thanks for reading thank you ). Let me tell you a story, I wondered how cool it is to know CUDA so I went for it and luckily it turned out to be a good decision.

If you want advice on kernel or inference or something else, I'd say just go for it let go , open the book, open the code, open the internet, open anything you can find and learn. It will take time, but it will be worth it.

The Metal GEMM worklog (maybe you've read it) took eighteen months and two long breaks from me, sounds scary scary but it isn't a continuous work, I just dropped it for a while, restarted again, looped back and finally finished it, so don't give up.

Wow, so you read to here, I guess you are curious about my life. I'm not a very interesting person, but I'm trying to be (and still not cool sad face ). Click each button to see a slice of my life.

The first thing about me is that I'm a math nerd smart . When I tell people I love math, they usually look at me with a mix of disbelief and disgust but honestly, loving math doesn't mean you're good at it. You just do it, math chooses you .

The story started when I read Book of Proof then everything just clicked. Proof isn't dark magic anymore gandalf , it has templates, like contradiction and induction, and logic you can take apart.

Then I started Rudin's Principles of Mathematical Analysis (the Baby Rudin) in July 2023 thinking that I could learn it like a math prodigy from MIT but I guess I'm not sad cat , so I put it down and never touched it again.

But now, in october 2026 (with AI and another book actually) I'm back to follow my dream on math sisyphus .

Will write this later later . But I really love my Nintendo Switch Oled.

Will write this later later . I really love badminton and running.

Will write this later later .

Away from the screen, I love spending time with my family and my friends. they're the best part of my life.
