Data engineer,
photographer,
builder.

I work at the intersection of AI systems and human intent. Based in Seattle.

About

Claire Tsao

Pattern recognition
as a way of life.

Data Engineer at AWS. I build AI systems, think about why they fail, and occasionally photograph streets at odd hours.

My work lives at the edge between technical depth and strategic clarity — the part where engineering decisions become product decisions.
