Hello, I'm Sahil Menon
Computer Engineering student with a passion for new and emerging technologies.
About Me
I’m Sahil, a first-year Computer Engineering student at UNSW.
I’m fascinated by robotics and intelligent systems, particularly building autonomous machines through embedded hardware, low-level software, and AI. I’m actively seeking opportunities in robotics and AI research.
I’m also passionate about applying deep tech to help companies scale, make better decisions, and turn research into real-world impact.
Experience
BuildingBloCS
Overall-In-Charge
I led Singapore’s largest student-led Computing Advocacy Program as its Overall-In-Charge, personally overseeing annual conferences that welcomed 1,000+ participants from 60 schools. I coordinated a team of organizers from 30+ institutions and secured over $200,000 in sponsorships, reaching 3,000+ students across 70+ educational institutions.
Walled AI
AI Safety Researcher
I specialised in LLM Hallucination Detection for Context-Based QA tasks. I individually designed and built an evaluation benchmark of 50,000+ samples to measure the effectiveness of detection models including Lynx and HaluBench, evaluating them across multiple precision, recall, and calibration metrics.

Featured Projects
Palimps — Stochastic Text Generation
Generating coherent, infinite prose from arbitrary text corpora without a neural network.
Built an n-gram Markov Chain engine with a dynamic backoff strategy for zero-probability states, NLTK POS tagging for grammatical coherence, and binary serialization that cuts initialization time by 85%.
Black Scholes Option Calculator
Visualising how volatility and time-decay non-linearly affect options pricing across thousands of market scenarios.
Built a real-time pricing engine using the Black-Scholes-Merton formula with vectorized NumPy/SciPy computations, 3D Matplotlib surfaces, and Seaborn heatmaps — simulating 2,500+ scenarios instantly in Streamlit.
