# Adithya Ekanayaka > Software engineer building AI systems that have to earn their place. I build AI that runs real things: government records, a house, a WhatsApp inbox. I keep the models small where I can, check every output with code before it acts, and don't believe a number until it has survived a test it couldn't have seen.
