Shlomo Kashani

Founder & Chief AI Strategist

QNeura is led by Shlomo Kashani, an AIMO‑2 Gold Medalist with advanced degrees from Johns Hopkins (Quantum Physics), MSU (DSS – Strategic Studies), and Queen Mary University of London (Signal Processing).

I’m an interdisciplinary technologist weaving together advanced AI research and philosophical inquiry. My academic path spans artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and military history, equipping me to thrive as a Chief Scientist where I fuse scientific precision with ethical and cultural insight.

I'm passionate about building—whether it's software, hardware, or simulations—and I thrive on tackling the toughest challenges, from CUDA and Vulkan to Metal Shaders and CMake. The more complex, the more captivating.

I rigorously validate my work through hundreds of experiments, drawing on my extensive education in physics, AI, war history, and strategy. My academic journey reflects my curiosity, from mastering the intricacies of the DSS programme at MSU, to gaining advanced expertise in Signal Processing at Queen Mary University of London, to unraveling the complexities of Quantum Physics at Johns Hopkins University. These diverse experiences have honed my ability to synthesize knowledge across disciplines.

As a published author, my book Deep Learning Interviews is a go‑to reference in the field; I also earned a Gold Medal in the Kaggle AI Math Olympiad (AIMO‑2).

I’ve built and led AI teams as Head of AI, recruiting and mentoring engineers and scientists to deliver breakthroughs. I’m highly skilled with agentic AI frameworks and orchestrators, LLMs and VLMs (Anthropic, OpenAI, DeepSeek), covering pre‑training, fine‑tuning, LoRA, multi‑GPU inference, and deployment on HuggingFace and vLLM.

As the founder of QNeura.ai, I lead a leading firm delivering strategic consulting in Generative AI, Large Language Models, and quantum computing, crafting innovative, production-ready solutions that fuse theoretical depth with practical ingenuity for startups and enterprises worldwide.
