Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShantanu Agarwal is a software engineer with a decade of experience building ML-driven systems, currently working on agentic AI at Meta after a rapid progression through AI and security-focused roles at Balbix. He holds a Bachelor's in Mathematics & Computing from IIT Guwahati and is pursuing advanced CS study at UMass Amherst, blending strong theoretical foundations with production engineering. His background spans end-to-end ML work—from collecting and crowdsourcing dialog datasets at IIT Delhi to deploying NLP models for vulnerability mapping in cybersecurity—demonstrating both research chops and product delivery. Earlier quant and engineering roles at Goldman Sachs and Samsung sharpened his systems thinking and performance-oriented approach. Based in San Francisco, he moves comfortably between research, model engineering, and applied security work, often owning projects from data collection through deployment. A less obvious strength is his history of contributing practical low-level improvements (e.g., C++ interfaces for deep learning stacks) that accelerate team productivity and model performance.
