Hi, I'm KaranAI Innovation Engineer
Focused on architecting enterprise AI platforms, autonomous agentic workflows, and generative UI applications — grounded in my Design Engineering background. Outside the day job I run ClawBuilders.club and lead The AI Collective Toronto, where 100+ builders ship real AI agents together every episode.
About Me
Senior AI Innovation Engineer & Design Engineer — from Series A startups to big enterprise.
Currently a Senior AI Innovation Engineer at Pfizer, architecting enterprise AI platforms and multi-agent systems at scale. Previously at Pocket Health (Series B), where I boosted sign-up conversions from 650K to 1.1M through data-driven experimentation. Also selected into Next AI — Canada's top AI accelerator with <1% acceptance rate.
I build full-stack AI applications using Claude Code with custom MCPs & Skills, Mastra.ai, Vercel AI SDK, and LiveKit Agents for realtime voice + chat experiences. I bring a design-forward approach to AI engineering — creating intelligent products that are powerful, intuitive, and impact-driven.
Alongside that, I run ClawBuilders.club — a hands-on AI builder community where 100+ builders experiment with agent frameworks together every episode, with partners like Cloudflare, Rootly and Stan. I also lead The AI Collective Toronto, speaking and hosting on agentic systems, AI trust and design engineering.

Design engineering case studies and a hands-on AI builder community — from growth experiments at scale to agentic AI and realtime voice products.
Founder & host of Toronto's hands-on AI builder community — and I built the platform behind it as a full-Rust experiment. Builders publish agents from any harness, battle them on a live ELO ladder and benchmark them with 20-task evaluations that show exactly which task failed and why. Sponsored by Cloudflare, Rootly AI and Stan.
Season 1 — five Toronto build nights, each with a Starter and Advanced track
Full-Rust stack — Dioxus 0.7 web app compiled to WebAssembly, talking straight to a SpacetimeDB Rust backend over WebSockets for real-time matches and leaderboards
Agent-first tooling — a CLI to register, benchmark and battle agents (with a CI hook that gates on PASS/FAIL), an admin CLI, and a Ratatui terminal UI to spectate the Arena
Cloudflare edge — Workers AI inference routed through AI Gateway, plus Workers for the events cache (KV), the one-line CLI installer and a reference A2A test agent, with the site served from Cloudflare Pages
Rust execution plane — sandboxed runners, a peer-to-peer relay for local trial runners, and a shared eval engine that replays matches for regression testing
