Hi, I’m Saneil, a software engineer and AI product builder.
I like getting involved in the whole problem: understanding what people need, deciding what to build, designing the system, and making it work. My background spans frontend, backend, data, QA, and product. I’m drawn to small startups, where creativity, ownership, and a willingness to work across disciplines go a long way.
At Dispatch Goods, I hired a small team and architected a container tracking and logistics system. At StrongSuit, I designed and built a matter context and memory system and a matter portal, combining engineering with substantial product responsibility.
My current interests include AI safety, agent harnesses, agent swarms, and research engineering. I’ve built agent harnesses, and I’m interested in how we design, study, and improve AI systems—from the context and memory that support an individual agent to the coordination of many agents working together.
Outside of work, I enjoy hiking, biking, and cooking.
The best way to reach me is saneilsuri@gmail.com, or you canbook a call on my calendar. My résumé has the full picture.
