"I had the pleasure of working with Hari during his time as a 2025 Summer Product Security Intern at Alcon, and I was consistently impressed by his talent, curiosity, and passion. He worked on innovative projects at the intersection of cybersecurity and edge AI processors, tackling complex technical challenges with creativity and precision. In addition to his edge AI processors work, Hari made significant contributions to a generative AI initiative, bringing fresh ideas and technical insight that meaningfully advanced the project. He asked the right questions, approached problems methodically, and demonstrated a level of focus and enthusiasm that was really great. Above all, Hari was a joy to work with: collaborative, proactive, and genuinely passionate about the work. I have no doubt that his skills and mindset will take him far, and I wish him nothing but the best in his future endeavors"

"Hari has joined as analyst in GenAI and Trustworthy AI team. Hari quickly gained other senior developers confidence with his thoroughness, focus, positive attitude and analytical abilities. Hari was effective in creating the prompts to test and validate many commercial and open source LLMs and even wrote all the scripts to automate testing. Hari takes on challenges and is resourceful in solving problems. I recommend anyone who is looking for these abilities. All the best"
