Joseph Davis Chamdani
Informatics @ University of Washington
Software engineer and Informatics student at UW. Building products in AI, web development, and cybersecurity.
I sit between product and engineering: research what people actually do, build it, then test it until it survives someone else using it.
About
I build technology that augments human judgment instead of replacing it. Trust in an AI system does not come from a high confidence score. It comes from clear boundaries, honest limits, and behavior people can predict.
Originally from Jakarta, Indonesia. Moved to Seattle at 15, accelerated through a high school completion program at Bellevue College, and entered UW's Informatics program as a junior.
Currently an AI Product Intern at Whitespace Solutions, after building AI automation for cybersecurity at Sector and leading BC Tech Club through BC Hacks 2024. The through line is AI ethics, human-computer interaction, and tools people actually use.
