Shivam Bhardwaj

Engineering professional specializing in AI systems and infrastructure.

I'm an engineering professional specializing in AI systems and infrastructure. My work focuses on building scalable, reliable, and production-ready AI applications, from LLM platforms and agentic AI to deterministic workflows and secure AI deployments.

Beyond engineering, I actively pursue research in quantitative finance. My interests include empirical asset pricing, Stochastic Discount Factor (SDF) modeling, reinforcement learning for financial markets, factor investing, and portfolio optimization.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me watching football, cooking, reading, or discovering new cafes.
