Krish Shah

👋 I'm Krish. I'm a computer engineer, AI researcher, and product-minded builder from New Jersey.

I currently work at Beacon Platform (acquired by Clearwater Analytics, NYSE: CWAN), where I help hedge funds and asset managers deploy pricing and risk infrastructure across multi-asset portfolios. Previously, I conducted research on clinical grounding for LLMs at Boston University's Kolachalama Lab, designed RAG-based document automation tools, and launched a nonprofit mentorship platform connecting high schoolers to college mentors.

I studied Computer Engineering with a Machine Learning concentration at Boston University, where I was named a FIRST Robotics Presidential Scholar—awarded to the top 0.5% of engineering admits. My work blends technical depth with product thinking, whether it's building quant pipelines, AI healthcare tools, or scalable infrastructure that actually gets used.

I live in NJ, work in NYC, and bounce back to Boston often. When I'm not building, I'm probably watching BU hockey, diving into sports stats, or chasing a pickleball rally somewhere along the East Coast.
