Shantanu Deshpande

I'm Shantanu, a computer science and statistics student at UC Davis. Through my work in software engineering, quantitative research, and AI safety, I'm passionate about building intelligent systems that solve real-world problems.

In my free time I love to read, grow plants, drink tea, and play poker. I'm also fascinated by mythology, which led me to pursue a minor in Classics.
