BIO
Co-founding Canary with a team of ex-Windsurf, Cognition and Google engineers. Canary is the first AI QA engineer that understands your codebase. AI coding tools have made developers 100x faster, but QA hasn't kept up. Unlike tools that rely on flaky DOM scraping, screenshot analysis or vision based models, Canary reads your source code directly to understand developer intent and catch what others miss. We help engineering teams go from weeks of manual testing to 90%+ test coverage in days.
