Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolShivam Sahni is a machine learning engineer with six years of experience applying mathematical rigor to practical AI problems, currently working at Together AI after a year building ML infrastructure and optimized GPU kernels at LinkedIn. He holds a 4.0 MS in Computer Science from UC San Diego and a top-ranked BTech from IIT Gandhinagar, and combines strong systems-level C/C++ skills with Python proficiency for NLP and computer vision projects. Shivam led development of LinkedIn’s Liger Kernel—an open-source transformer kernel that attracted 5k+ GitHub stars—demonstrating a knack for performance engineering at scale. His internships at Microsoft and AIVID produced measurable gains (a 15% accuracy lift on product taxonomy mapping and edge-friendly video analytics), while a robotics project showed his ability to deliver end-to-end perception and navigation systems. A competitive programmer and published ML researcher, he brings both algorithmic depth and production-oriented engineering to high-impact AI projects.
