Say hello

Hi, I'm Kadhar 👋

I help teams build software that millions of people use.

For 19 years I've designed and built software end to end, from the app on your screen to the cloud behind it, and led the teams who make it. Today I'm the lead architect for generative and agentic AI experiences inside Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Premiere Pro.
