Software Engineer II (AI) at HarnessI build AI that ships. And I obsess over {who it's for.}
From production AI at Harness to real-time captions that make a classroom accessible, I work where technology, statistics, and finance overlap, turning ideas into tools people actually use.

Selected highlights
ScribeAR

See the experienceWhat I do
Build AI systems that ship
At Harness I built a Prompt Scoring & Enhancement System for AI-driven test automation, and I own end-to-end fixes for the production issues that block releases.
Work with data at scale
From ML drift detection on satellite imagery to reconciling transaction-level financial data. I like problems where statistics meets real systems.
Build for accessibility
ScribeAR captions and indoor navigation for the visually impaired: the work I'm proudest of is defined by who the technology is for.
Share what I learn
I write about accessibility, the systems I build, and the odd turns my career has taken. Explaining a thing plainly is how I find out whether I actually understand it.
Looking for someone who can build across AI, systems, and strategy?
That's the work I care about most. Let's talk.
