Senior🎓
Top SchoolKirtan Shah is a backend engineer with 11 years of experience who blends machine learning, distributed systems, and full-stack development to deliver production-grade solutions. A UC San Diego MS in Machine Learning & Data Science and a BS in Computer Engineering underpin internships at Roblox and AWS where he improved child-safety LLM classifiers (+16% precision, +4.1% F1) and optimized petabyte-scale DynamoDB logging and region rollouts, saving weeks and millions in costs. He has shipped customer-facing features for nationwide automotive storefronts, built an open-source utility with thousands of users, and even invented an algorithm for a novel 3D printing approach. Early projects—from a 7th-grade Mario-style game to multithreaded and GPU-optimized systems—explain his fluency across networking, SIMD, and parallelism. Relentless curiosity and rapid systems thinking let him decompose complex problems and convert them into scalable, production-ready implementations.
