Design Engineer at Adobe, moving to Edinburgh (Sep '26) for MSc AI.
I build on-device AI systems, VLM architectures, and design infrastructure used across Adobe products. Builder first, researcher second.
- On-device AI — Lumi, a 350M param LLM running <100ms on Android, 400+ users on Play Store
- Vision–language systems — NanoChat, 64× visual token compression for multimodal context extension
- Design infrastructure — Led Spectrum Web Components migration to 2.0, impacting Firefly, Illustrator Web, and Adobe.com
- Products — StocksBrew ($18/mo MRR), YourTrace ($28/mo MRR)
- Shipped privacy-first on-device LLM for Android with LoRA fine-tuning
- Built vision–language prototype with aggressive context compression (got into target MSc program)
- Migrated core web components used by thousands of Adobe engineers
Frontend: React, Lit, TypeScript, Web Components, Next.js Backend: Node, Python, PostgreSQL, Supabase AI: PyTorch, LoRA, RAG, vision–language models, on-device inference
- YouTube (4.3K subs) — software engineering, AI, building products
- Writing — tarat.space — compression, on-device AI, shipping at scale
