Driving AI/GenAI Growth for Startups, AI Labs & Enterprise | Scaling Gold Standard Data for ML Models | Shaip

About

I help AI/ML teams move from “it works in a demo” to “it works in production.” Most teams realize this only after their model fails in production. Most of the time, the problem isn’t the model. It’s the data. If you're building AI, you’ve likely faced: • Poor performance in real-world scenarios • Long timelines for data sourcing and labeling • Challenges scaling across use cases At Shaip, I work with teams across: → Physical AI → Conversational AI → Computer Vision → Healthcare AI Helping them: • Improve model performance • Reduce time-to-market • Build scalable data pipelines In simple terms: I help teams spend less time fixing data—and more time building AI that works. If you're working on AI and facing data challenges, happy to connect.
