Shivam Garg
Software Engineer
I'm currently working at AGI Labs as a Software Engineer after completing my B.S. in Computer Science and Mathematics, for which I had received a Herman B. Wells Scholarship (a 4-year full ride scholarship).
I regularly build scalable systems, from automated payment systems that save 15-20 hours per week to LLM-powered video processing pipelines. I've co-founded two startups, Spindl and Streamling, gaining 10k+ users and securing funding.

LLM-Powered Podcast Clipping
⭐Clippy transforms long podcasts into 10–15 punchy 30–60s clips by combining WhisperX transcription with an LLM that selects the most engaging Q&A and story moments. Active-speaker detection keeps faces perfectly framed while captions are auto-generated and burned in for vertical, social-ready output. A cloud pipeline—S3 storage, Inngest queues, and Modal GPU workers—handles the heavy lifting asynchronously, and a Next.js web app lets users upload, track progress, preview, and download their clips..
