Shashank Shirol is a Stockholm-based software engineer with eight years of experience building data-driven and AI-infused systems using Python, Java, C/C++, and web technologies. He combines industry experience at Goldman Sachs and OSTTRA with applied research—publishing high-accuracy crowd analysis work and a top-graded bachelor’s thesis on speech data augmentation—and recently completed a master’s at KTH while mentoring prospective students. His background spans quantitative analytics, autonomous robotics (master thesis on socially aware robot behavior at Husqvarna), and production-focused internships, giving him fluency across research prototypes and enterprise delivery. Known for a curious, playful attitude (GitHub bio: "A Potato trying to become french fries"), he brings rigorous academic training—graduated top 5% in his B.Tech—and a willingness to bridge deep learning research with practical software engineering.
