Ethan Zemelman Team Lead RSVP Approved
Software Engineering Intern at Shopify
everything
I'm is a student interested in innovative technology and programming, with passions in AI systems, computer science, and finance. I'm currently a Software Engineer Intern at Shopify and study Computer Science and Finance at the University of Waterloo.
I'm interested in learning more about and talking to people working with AI in fintech or anywhere else.
I'm currently creating an app that uses LLMs to make it easier to stay up to date with stock market news (not on GitHub yet). At Shopify, I am working on the Finance Home + AI team.
Aayush Grover RSVP Approved
Machine Learning Engineer Intern at Shopify
everything
Hey! I'm Aayush Grover, a 2nd year Computer Science student at the University of Waterloo. I've worked on a wide range of projects & hackathons in the past, ranging from CNN pneumonia classifiers, GAN synthetic data projects, reinforcement learning meta prompting for GoogleADK agents, etc. I love going to hackathons, with some highlights being Hack the North (both as an attendee, and as an organizer), Berkeley AI Hackathon, and Hack the 6ix. Professionally, I've worked on AI evals for embedding models and agent frameworks at Nokia, and I'm currently working on building LLM eval infrastructure on Shopify's Sidekick team.
I'm super interested in LLM research, whether in the world of evals, optimization, and generally improving frontier foundational models. I also love to work on scrappy projects that leverage existing work in AI to create tangible impacts.
Recently, I've been tinkering on Shopify Sidekick, as well as messing around with optimizing prompt generation for AI agent frameworks through meta prompting pipelines.
