Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShayan Sadigh is a technical founder and engineer with 11 years of experience building production-grade machine learning, computer vision, and agentic systems from research prototypes to deployed cloud services. He has founded multiple startups—most recently Sacho, a songwriting recording and organization tool—and previously shipped a subscription Discord AI agent with persistent memory and swappable LLM backends. As a founding engineer at Aurascape he built agentic web traffic analyzers, multimodal filters, and demos that contributed to a $12.8M raise, leveraging OpenAI, Claude, Gemini and in-house vLLM deployments across GCP/AWS/Azure. His background includes deep learning infrastructure work at AWS SageMaker, security-focused pattern-matching and inline ML at Palo Alto Networks, and a NeurIPS-submitted research contribution (checkered subsampling) from UCSB. He teaches complex topics accessibly—having taught an undergraduate ML/deep learning course with a tiny-SLM lab and an AI teaching assistant—and pairs low-level C/C++ systems work with higher-level Python and FastAPI pipelines. Based in San Francisco, he blends academic rigor with hands-on product engineering and a knack for turning research ideas into usable developer tools and startup products.
