Hello there! I'm Shaishav Kr, often known by my internet alias @wiresufer

Seasoned technology professional with over 15 years of hands-on experience in Machine Learning, Cloud, IoT, Robotics, Platform Engineering and Enterprise PaaS/SaaS.

My journey has been a roller coaster filled with valuable learnings, real-world case studies, and practical insights that I'm excited to share.
In the past 9+ years, I've also been a driving force behind small, high-paced engineering teams in both 0-to-1 and 1-to-Scale startups.


My Mission

  1. Solving "hard" inter-disciplinary engineering problems using software, data science and AI as force multipliers,
  2. at the intersection of Computer Science and the Physical World,
  3. in business domains with measurable impact towards "betterment" of "human condition"

AI/ML Checklist for Startups

This is a work-in-progress article. At present, its a bullet point of topics I would cover. I have published this half-baked version to encourage discussion and seek editorial comments from people in my circle. This is not about GenAI, but the broader field of Artificial Intelligence as well as Machine Learning applications.
