Product Engineer · AI Products

Shlok Sharma

I ship LLM products end-to-end for real users.

Sole engineer behind FlyingMinds — adaptive tutoring, eval harnesses, and payments that scaled to 1,500+ students.

Selected work

Products that had to work for someone else.

Startup-shaped problems: ambiguous scope, real users, and technical decisions that show up in revenue, retention, or ops time saved.

Hero AI tutoring
FlyingMinds

Rebuilt the tutoring engine with Bayesian Knowledge Tracing and DeepSeek; shipped Stripe, admin, adaptive testing, and an eval harness that lifted grading agreement from 81% → 92%.

College odds
IvyOdds

Admission probability product with web + iOS — honest odds, trajectory planning, and merit-aid framing for families who don’t have a private counselor.

Sales ops Automation
MaxedS

Internal CRM rebuild and AI document analysis that cut manual sales-ops work by ~40% for a fractional sales team.

Open source shape
Engineering demos

Three public repos built to show modern product-engineering quality: LLM eval harness, structured extraction pipeline, and adaptive BKT practice kit. See the career kit for publish steps.

Writing, reading, and the rest of the person.

Filmmaking and fiction stay on the site — they’re part of how I think about narrative systems. They’re not the hiring pitch.
