Saber Garibi

AI systems software engineer

I build AI systems where permissions, evidence, and failure behavior matter, from governed pull request review and .NET services to an ESP32 camera that sends checked images to an iPhone.

Based in Chicago, Illinois

Selected work

Difficult problems with evidence attached

Three case studies that show how I work across product, system, and delivery boundaries.

More work

Four more systems worth inspecting

Additional work spanning upstream security, fuzzing research, enterprise AI services, and recommendation systems.

Browse every case study

Engineering approach

Make the problem clear, keep the boundary small, and leave proof

Start with the operating constraint

Each case study names the condition that shaped the solution before it describes tools or implementation.

Explain the decision

Architecture and code are presented with the tradeoff they address, not as a list of technologies.

Keep claims inspectable

Public artifacts are linked directly. Private work uses sanitized diagrams and avoids invented performance or business numbers.

About

An engineer who works across the system

I build AI systems where permissions, evidence, and failure behavior matter, from governed pull request review and .NET services to an ESP32 camera that sends checked images to an iPhone.

My education combines computer engineering, cybersecurity, software, and data. My project work connects those disciplines to products people can use.
