Shrivu Shankar

Shrivu Shankar is a Staff Machine Learning Engineer at Abnormal AI, where he leads the Generative AI team focused on building intelligent products that enhance cybersecurity and internal productivity. Since joining as an intern in 2021, Shrivu has helped shape Abnormal’s AI-native culture—developing features like the AI Data Analyst and AI Phishing Coach that go far beyond basic co-pilots to deliver entirely new product experiences. Today, he works at the intersection of applied ML and platform architecture, designing systems that let both engineers and LLMs ship faster, safer, and smarter. For Shrivu, what sets Abnormal apart is the combination of AI-first ambition and a culture that encourages constant learning. “The pace here is unlike anywhere else,” he says. “You’re expected to move fast, but you’re also supported to learn fast.” Whether it’s exploring new multi-agent frameworks, helping engineers rethink their workflows with LLMs, or shipping features that would have been impossible a year ago, Shrivu sees every project as a chance to experiment, grow, and build something that truly pushes the industry forward.
