optimizer
Performance improvement tool
An optimizer is a person, program, or tool that makes something work better or more efficiently.
In computing and machine learning, an optimizer is an algorithm that adjusts parameters to minimize error or maximize performance: The neural network uses a gradient descent optimizer.
More broadly, optimizer describes anyone focused on getting the best possible outcome from a system, whether that's a tax optimizer looking for deductions or a productivity optimizer tweaking their daily routine.
