Hi, I'm Shaun.
AI engineer. Bandra is home.
I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from Fr. CRCE, Mumbai, and an AI engineer with internship experience across AI engineering, research, data engineering and product development.
I've built agentic systems, RAG pipelines, voice AI and developer tools, most recently at Siemens Digital Industries Software.
Outside work I ship my own products, compete in national hackathons, and like to be part of everything: I joined GDSC as a web developer and ended up leading it.

Boarded GDSC as a web developer. Ended up leading it.
50 ABOARD
Google Developer Student Clubs · Vice Chairperson & Co-Lead
Organised one of India's international student hackathons, with participants from 20+ countries.
GDSC is where I went from learning and building technology to teaching it, and to creating chances for other students to build with it.
I joined as a web developer. By the end I was co-leading a team of 50: running workshops on Web, Google Cloud and AI, standing in front of rooms full of students, and organising an international hackathon with participants from 20+ countries.
Everything I do now, from RAG sessions to mentoring and judging hackathons, started here.
Some of my best friends. My best memories. The part of college I enjoyed the most.
