Caaren Amirian — Systems + Verification Engineer
Engineering between promising AI capability and trustworthy system use.
Independent research on autonomous and physical-AI systems. Preregistered experiments, acceptance criteria frozen before the first run, and evidence published whether or not it flatters the result.
Selected work
Sim-to-Real Control Systems
A preregistered 40-run campaign in NVIDIA Isaac Sim: closed-loop DSP filtering on a Franka feedback path. All three headline paired metrics improved in 20 of 20 seeds — and still 0 of 40 runs passed the full frozen gauntlet. The thresholds were frozen before the first run and were not relaxed afterward. Simulation only.
Agentic Systems Verifier
An agentic workflow that verifies systems-engineering specs: it parses the requirement, generates and executes tests, and returns RAG-grounded, traceable evidence for each check — so a reviewer sees why a spec passes, not just that it did.
Fieldheld Recorder
Turns autonomous coding-style runs into replayable, reviewable, rollbackable evidence bundles. Autonomy you can actually audit after the fact.
