Senior🎓
Top SchoolArshad Shaikh is a Founding AI Engineer with 8 years of experience building and scaling production-grade deep learning systems and ML infrastructure across startups and large education platforms. He co-founded Leeroo AI and currently architects foundational AI frameworks at Plexe AI, bridging cutting-edge research from IIT Bombay with pragmatic engineering that serves millions of users. His work at BYJU'S includes a 30B+ interaction transformer for multi-modal knowledge tracing with cached inference to scale to 10M+ users, and earlier research contributions include NeurIPS and AISP publications on graph attention and distributional properties of neural networks. Comfortable across the stack—from model research and novel loss formulations to efficient serving via quantization and ONNX—he combines academic rigor (MSc Data Science) with hands-on product delivery. Notably, he has applied non-obvious insights like Benford’s Law and knowledge-graph-augmented contrastive objectives to improve model robustness and retention. Based in London, he blends founder-level initiative with deep technical craftsmanship in deployable AI.
