Rebecca Clair

Staff systems engineer · from unknown system to operating model

The hard part is rarely the code.
I find the boundary that makes the whole system make sense.

I work where operating systems, browsers, devices, cloud services, and AI meet. I trace failures across boundaries, create the abstraction the system was missing, and turn one-off technical wins into platforms teams can operate and extend.

01

Understand

Reverse-engineer the real constraints and failure modes.

02

Operate

Build observability, automation, and recovery into the architecture.

03

Extend

Turn the solution into a durable platform with clear contracts and tooling.

Sky platform

A personal AI platform that unifies browser, computer-use, vision, voice, and cross-channel memory—and runs every day.

Secure browser systems

Work across CEF, Windows, rendering pipelines, traffic steering, and the diagnostics needed to ship secure browser software.

Mission-critical systems

Technical leadership for confidential systems, including RFID platforms used by JPL (NASA) and Boeing.

One agent. One coherent operating model.

I design software systems where operating systems, devices, browsers, cloud services, and AI infrastructure work together as one coherent product. Sky is that philosophy made concrete—not a chatbot, but a platform I operate every day.

Browser

Navigation, automation, and authenticated agent control.

Computer use

Desktop, browser, and Android control through one tool surface.

Vision

Screens, images, and the physical environment around me.

Memory

Cross-channel context that survives the conversation.

Voice

Natural interaction across phone, desktop, and wrist.

See how the systems fit together

The work is finished when the system no longer depends on me.

Architecture ownership

Define system boundaries, interfaces, and contracts that hold up in production.

Cross-team unblocking

Remove systemic friction and give teams a shared operating model.

Production diagnostics

Make failures legible, reproducible, and faster to resolve.

Developer-facing platforms

Create tooling other engineers can use without inheriting the original complexity.

Safe to extend

Clear boundaries and responsibilities keep change local and deliberate.

Observable failure modes

Useful signals make problems obvious, diagnosable, and fixable.

Systems others can evolve

Practical platforms, documentation, and tooling enable independent progress.
