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

Through this blog, I aim to document my learning notes and experience 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 packages for probablisitic programming, fast XIRR computation using Newton’s method, etc. The total downloads are over 250K.

I also 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.
  • SSM’s 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 large model running on the cloud
  • Successfully piloted with 100 users, enabling accessible medical guidance in low‑resource regions
• Introduction to GPUs and CUDA
  • Demonstrates basic of GPU architecture and CUDA programming.
• Structured Generation in LLMs
  • Presented 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, and finished in top 10% of the leaderboard in the Kaggle contest.
• Hierachical Bayesian CLV Model
  • Developed a novel Bayesian hierarchical model for CLV prediction that integrates customer demographics, achieving 37% improvement in valuation accuracy and enabling data‑driven marketing strategies.

Technical Challenges

I love working through a varitely of platform providing technical challenges, such as:

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