Saiesh Prabhu
Saiesh began in engineering, solving technical problems before bravely deciding people were the real puzzle. He became an agile practitioner, swapping DSA for delivery metrics and learning that debugging humans is far less predictable than debugging code. Today, he engineers high-performing teams with precision (just fewer hard hats and more sticky notes). When he’s not coaching teams, he’s probably reminding someone that “it depends” is, in fact, a complete answer.

Session
You don’t jump ~1,197 spots on the PyTorch contributor leaderboard by accident. It was our PyTorch Engineering Team that did the high-speed driving—writing, refining, and getting their code merged to make this massive leap possible. This talk pulls back the curtain on how the team evolved their day-to-day practices to scale our open-source footprint. I’ll share how our developers streamlined community contributions, removed friction for external collaborators, and adapted their internal Agile workflows to match the breakneck speed of the broader PyTorch ecosystem. If you want to amplify your own organization’s open-source impact, come see how a async-first workflow transformed from a process requirement into a massive competitive advantage.
