Hi, I’m Shan. I’m an engineer, entrepreneur, writer, and traveler.
I’ve built large-scale systems at Google, Meta, and LinkedIn and helped Silicon Valley AI startups grow from zero to production. Outside the org chart, I write, travel, and turn curiosity into products, tools, and games.

Essays on production AI, engineering leadership, and the systems shaping how technology reaches society.
An LLM keeps talking even when it is uncertain. Jev takes a different approach: return the decision, the probability, and a clear place to stop.
