πŸš€ Exciting News (September 2024): I'm releasing a v0 of DocETL, a system for complex LLM-powered document processing! I have been working on this for ~1.5 years. Check it out at docetl.org.

I'm also looking for undergrads who are interested in joining the project. If you're interested, please reach out! Your take-home interview is to close a GitHub issue or improve documentation. Feel free to email me if you get stuck.

About Me

I'm Shreya Shankar, a computer scientist in the Bay Area. I am completing my PhD in AI-powered data processing, with a human-centered focus, advised by Dr. Aditya Parameswaran. I am grateful to be supported by the NDSEG Fellowship. I am studying at UC Berkeley. Go Bears! 🐻

I also consult on ML engineering and production AI strategy for enterprises. Prior to my PhD, I was the first ML engineer at a startup, did research engineering at Google Brain, and engineering at Facebook. Before all of that, I did my BS and MS in computer science at Stanford. Go Trees! 🌲
