AI engineer turned builder. Shipping products, where ML meets real users.

I’m Aymaan Shaikh — a developer obsessed with using AI + “big data” to solve real, high-impact problems.

I’ve worked across cloud infrastructure, applied ML, and AI research — touching everything from finance and med-ML to telecom, quant trading, AI agents/bots, social good, and a handful of startups — from production systems to experimentation-heavy labs. Along the way, I’ve done a few fellowships, founded a nonprofit, and I’m big on volunteering and giving back.

On campus, I’m the founder/president of Cornell’s Billiards Club — my favorite way to train precision and accuracy. I’ve also been a course assistant for technical classes and a CS mentor.

Now I’m focused on building in AI — the kind of work that ships, scales, and actually matters.
