Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShrey Desai is a software engineer in Seattle with 11 years of experience building AI-driven products, currently focusing on personalized AI agents for SMBs at Meta. He has a strong ML systems background from contributions to Facebook Research’s PyText—fixing model bugs, improving language-model metrics, and enabling Caffe2 export—alongside internships at Facebook, Uber, and Microsoft. Comfortable moving between research and production, he implements practical model improvements (dropout logic, causal convolutions, GELU activations, pooling) that make NLP models more robust and deployable. A UT Austin computer science alum, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on engineering and a knack for shipping features that bridge prototype research and scalable production.
