Hi! I’m Shubham, an Applied AI engineer in Singapore.

Through this blog, I aim to document my learning notes and experiences in software development, artificial intelligence, and distributed systems.

Talks

• Probabilistic Programming in Elixir with Exstan
  • Presented at ElixirConfEU 2024.

Open-Source

I love Elixir, and have been creating packages for probabilistic programming, fast XIRR computation using Newton’s method, etc. The total downloads are over 250K.

I actively review AI papers in my spare time, which you can find on my Github.

Presentations

• State Space Models
  • Presented at Machine Learning, Singapore, a top ML community in Singapore.
  • SSMs are a promising alternative to the Attention mechanism used in Transformers.
• AI-Driven Patient Engagement in Healthcare
  • Engineered mobile app with optimized on-device LLM (3B params) and confidence-based cloud fallback using token logits to route requests to larger cloud model
  • Successfully piloted with 100 users, enabling accessible medical guidance in low-resource regions
• Introduction to GPUs and CUDA
  • Demonstrates basics of GPU architecture and CUDA programming.
• Structured Generation in LLMs
  • Presented on common methods used to generate structured output from LLMs.
• End‑to‑End Attention based Image Captioning
  • Implemented as part of a course project at NUS, finishing in the top 10% of the leaderboard in the Kaggle contest.
• Hierachical Bayesian CLV Model
  • Developed a novel Bayesian hierarchical model for CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) prediction that integrates customer demographics, achieving 37% improvement in valuation accuracy and enabling data-driven marketing strategies.

Technical Challenges

I enjoy solving technical challenges on various platforms:

• HackAttic
  • Collection of real-world challenges. Ranked in top 10% of participants.
• CodeCrafters
  • Collection of challenges to build real-world software.
  • I’ve completed challenges like building Redis and a HTTP Server
