About

Hey there. I am Kumar Shivendu. 👨‍💻 Here's a PDF version of my Resume

I build vector search engine Qdrant and have previously worked at SuperTokens (YC 20) and FamPay (YC 19). In my free time, I try to explore the explainability and limits of vector search, embeddings, and RAG. I love information retrieval (search engines, LLMs), distributed systems, observability, and scraping/mining data.

📩 Reach out to me if you need help with RAG

I'm also open to speaking opportunites at reputed conferences and meetups. Some of my previous talks can be found at talks.kshivendu.dev

Some of my recent side projects:

• Monitoring my life with Grafana, Prometheus, and InfluxDB I'm collecting my health, time, and productivity data from all of my devices and putting it all together in Grafana dashboards.
• Suggest-AI 2k+ people used my side project to search for 10k+ different things. Eventually took it down because it didn't have a monetization strategy.
• Cloning voices to make popular singers sing different songs, etc.

🚀 Experience:

• Software Engineer - Core Team 🦀 @ Qdrant
• Software Engineer @ SuperTokens (YC 20)
• Software Engineer Intern @ FamPay (YC 19)
• Google Summer Of Code Student @ Software Heritage
• ML + SDE Intern @ Logy.AI
