About

Turning data into decisions,
ideas into impact.

Hey! I am Jayneel Shah, a builder, researcher, and problem-solver passionate about the intersection of AI and real-world impact. I am pursuing my M.S. in Computer Science at NC State, focusing on machine learning, software engineering, and data science.

"The stack doesn't matter. The problem does." - My guiding philosophy in tech, research, and life.

My journey spans building computer vision systems to contributing open-source GIS tools used by researchers worldwide. I thrive on challenges, shipping production AI models, leading data teams, or hacking together a project at 3 AM during a hackathon.

I have had the privilege of working at PayPal (earning the Bravo Award for dashboard development), ISRO (India's space agency), and the Center for Geospatial Analytics developing open-source GRASS GIS modules. Each experience deepened my conviction that great engineering combines rigor with creativity.

Outside of code? Cricket pitch, Squash and pickleball courts, or hiking trails. An avid traveler, nature enthusiast, and total foodie!
