Hi! I'm Shirin

A Machine Learning Researcher & Engineer based in Canada. I have been working on Reinforcement Learning applications for the past 4 years, currently I am more focused on Post Training Optimization and Validation!

  • Verifiable Inference and Privacy Preserving ML
  • Compression, Optimization and a -bit- Inference Quantization
  • Reinforcement learning with human feedback
  • Agentic Development at scale

I am always looking to connect with people and discuss collaborations, that is the root how knowledge form and transfer, Let's have a chat!

Featured Projects

Inference Labs - Verifiable AI & LLMs

  • Verifiable AI Agent - Developed the first Verifiable AI Agent by reducing overhead from 1000x to 8x
  • Model-Agnostic Proof System - Designed a scalable proof of inference system leveraging Agentic testing and Probabilistic proofs with no computational overhead using JIT Design pattern and Redis Caching system.
  • LLM Optimization - Led model optimization initiatives for faster inference and smaller footprint models
  • RLHF-Based Ranking - Implemented sophisticated ranking profiles using Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) and Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO)

Nobitex - Data Science & Finance

  • Customer Clustering at Scale - Developed scalable, ensemble tree-based algorithm leveraging Spark for processing 4M+ customer transactions, driving MAU growth to 8.5M within one year
  • Chain Fraud Detection Dashboard - Developed the Fraud pipeline discovery and classification in OTLP wallet transactions based on blockchain transaction monitoring
  • Marketing Data Pipeline - Led cross-team collaboration to design an end-to-end Marketing Data Modeling ETL Pipeline with ERD system design

SnappMarket - Retail Tech & Optimization

  • Autonomous Inventory System - Developed scalable inventory reordering system for 15 hypermarkets with +8,000 SKUs
  • Automated Shopping Experience - Contributed to a $100M funded project for a fully automated shopping experience (Low-Cost Amazon Go), implementing indoor location tracking in collaboration with Rocket Internet
  • Operational Analytics - Established real-time operational KPIs with automated reporting systems, ensuring data accuracy and driving strategic decisions

Mar 19, 2025 Our paper titled “Enhanced Pareto Optimality with Reinforcement Learning Approach” has been accepted for presentation at the CORS 2025 Conference.
Dec 20, 2024 I successfully defended my Master’s thesis at McMaster University, focusing on “Multi-Objective Bi-Level Hierarchical Reinforcement Learning.” This work enhances traditional stochastic optimization and multi-armed bandit approaches to offer interpretable decision-making frameworks.
Jul 01, 2024 I participated in the Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning (DLRL) 2024 summer school at Vector Institute.
Apr 01, 2024 I have started my Full-time position at Inference Labs to work on Verifiable Inference.
Sep 01, 2022 I was accepted to McMaster University under the supervision of Prof. Manish Verma with an Excellence Scholarship.
