I'm Shashank, the engineer

And this is Mindy, the cat. Mindy supervises all operations and takes full credit for any successes. Failures are, obviously, mine.

• Before, I worked on real-time scalable systems and ML infrastructure—shipping recommender systems, distributed pipelines, and MLOps automations (the formal details live on my resume).
• Now, I am studying High Performance Computing and Analog Computing at Georgia Tech, as part of my MS in CS…
• Soon, I will be a force to reckon with, striding both ML and HPC to work on Super Large-scale Intelligence Systems.

Elsewhere, I am @knhash: email is the best way to reach me (or hire me), github has the code, and linkedin has the career.

Around here, you'll find a den of projects and contraptions, and a guestbook for leaving a note.
