Hi i'm Palash Shah! I'm currently living in New York, building industrial IoT at Samsara.
Last year, I worked at Zapier part-time, and worked in their special projects department. I built the foundation for their natural language interface, where users are allowed to
build Zaps from english language statements. You can find the release of this in their blog.
Previously, I worked Ideaflow, where I built software to make sense of the world. Before, I was at Roboflow (YC20) as one of their first engineering hires. There, I built computer vision tools for tens of thousands of developers.
Before that, I attempted to start my own company. I built a collection of machine learning tools with Paraglide. Through this, I won the Pioneer tournament.
My time at Paraglide was spent, building Turbine (a data-annotation platform to help managers understand their workforces), authoring Nylon (an interactive grammar of machine learning), and building a full-scale web editor (with stripe integration, authentication, and interactive API components).
My personal favorite work of mine is Libra: a machine learning API that lets you build and train models in just one-line of code. At its peak, it had over 35,000 users, and was being used by universities around the globe in their introductory machine learning classes. I continue to contribute in my free time.
I also dabble in the research space. A couple years ago, I worked with Dr. Menon from Carnegie Mellon. We worked on performing medical disease analysis using 3D segmentation. Our work was published.
In high-school, I led a team of researchers at Fondazione Bruno Kesseler in Trentino Italy to help with brain tumor identification and segmentation.
I love trying new restaurants, coffee, and working out. Let me know if you're in New York and want to chat.
