Hi, I'm Shan Irshad — a Computer Information Systems student at the University of Texas at Dallas going into my senior year. I'm a technical builder and system architect focused on crafting AI-native, cloud-powered solutions that solve complex engineering problems through scalable design, robust implementation, and strategic technical decisions.

As a Cloud Architect, AI Engineer, and Technical Product Manager, I blend deep engineering expertise with product intuition to transform complex systems into powerful, scalable platforms. My flagship project, Ghosted, showcases this approach as a cloud automation platform that uses natural language and turns it into cloud deployments.

When I'm not architecting systems, you'll find me cheering on Liverpool FC and staying active working out.

Experience

Site Reliability Engineer Intern

@ Mastercard

Summer 2025

During my internship at Mastercard, I developed an AI-powered incident management tool using Python and LLMs that automated data ingestion from Splunk and Remedy APIs, reducing mean time to triage by 40%. I also engineered ML detection algorithms to analyze over 100,000 log events, which improved anomaly detection accuracy by 25% while automating cloud infrastructure provisioning using Terraform and Jenkins CI/CD pipelines to accelerate deployment cycles by 40%.

Technical Product Manager

@ Nutrify AI

Spring 2025

At Nutrify AI, I led the technical architecture for an AI-powered nutrition app with an ML recommendation engine, building and deploying a conversational AI chatbot using FastAPI and OpenAI API integration. Through user validation with 15 interviews and 100+ surveys, the chatbot resulted in a 25% increase in app downloads. I optimized performance and implemented ML personalization features that improved user engagement by 45% and overall user activity by 30%.
