Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrashant Shiralkar is a founder and applied science leader with 12 years of experience building production-grade AI systems that turn noisy web data into reliable knowledge and product intelligence. He led multidisciplinary teams at Amazon and Qualtrics to design web-scale information extraction, GNN/transformer models, and generative-AI features—delivering millions of high-precision facts for Alexa and multiple GenAI experiences used by thousands of brands. His PhD work in computational fact-checking and years building ontologies and extraction pipelines give him a rare blend of research rigor and operational delivery. Now building HatAlign, he’s applying ranking and evaluation expertise to make early-stage hiring more transparent and signal-driven, prioritizing explainability and alignment rather than opaque resume screening. Colleagues describe him as a builder who moves fluidly between defining scientific roadmaps and shipping systems that measurably reduce risk.
