Ari Zare is a Staff Software Engineer in San Francisco with 12 years of experience building deep learning infrastructure, MLOps, and distributed systems from early-stage startups to enterprise scale. He has a track record of shipping production-grade ML platforms—leading scheduler, metrics, and Kubernetes gateway work that improved GPU utilization and reduced job churn—while also launching greenfield GenAI and SaaS projects. Ari joined Axon through the Prepared acquisition to accelerate assistive AI for emergency response, reflecting his interest in mission-driven applications of ML. He combines hands-on systems engineering (APIs, gRPC, PostgreSQL partitioning, CI/CD optimizations) with team leadership and mentoring, having onboarded and interviewed many engineers. Known for pragmatism and curiosity—“If it ain't broke, I'll fix it!”—he routinely finds low-level efficiencies (80% faster CLI startup, 10x PR turnaround improvements) that unlock product velocity.
