Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Lahargou is an AI & Automation Engineer with eight years of engineering and QA experience, currently building and deploying LLM-driven tooling at iFixit that powers repair diagnostics, automated customer triage, and forum moderation. He combines a strong computer engineering foundation from Cal Poly with hands-on systems work—managing CI, thousands of automated tests, and custom CI infrastructure—to keep production services reliable at scale. At iFixit he improved LLM relevance via vector search over technical knowledge bases and automated warranty and support flows to reduce manual CS involvement. Michael is equally comfortable leading QA teams and writing the developer-facing tools that boost productivity, and he brings an uncommon operational lens from maintaining dedicated CI machines and historical test monitoring. Based in California, he delivers pragmatic AI solutions that integrate with existing workflows and measurably improve customer experience and engineering velocity.
