Shantanu Sharma, PhD​

I'm Shantanu, a quant research and AI leader now doing R&D at Goldman Sachs Asset and Wealth Management. Before this, I co-founded STEM Lending, an AI-driven mortgage platform that reached $30M in originations, and served as CTO at Yellowdig, where I built ML-powered engagement analytics for edtech. My background spans GE Research, Citi's low-latency trading systems, and a PhD from UNC Chapel Hill where my thesis committee included Nobel Laureate Aziz Sancar. Ask me about AI in financial services, building and scaling fintech products, AI safety and responsible ML, and quantitative research.
