Rajiv Shah helps AI teams build the right thing
Rajiv Shah is an Agentic AI Engineer, Professor, Speaker, and Edutainer. At OpenHands, he helps enterprises with the latest AI while educating practitioners about what actually works.
He's worked hands-on with 100+ AI use cases across enterprise, startup, and research - from recommendation systems to RAG pipelines. The failures taught him more than the successes. They almost always came down to framing, not algorithms.
His career spans 20+ patents, been cited over 1000 times, a PhD from UIUC, and an expert in practical AI.
Today he reaches 100K+ practitioners through talks, videos, and content at AI conferences - known by @rajistics.
