a little about me

Software engineer.
Creator at heart.

I’m Clarissa, a software engineer at Netflix. I build production AI agents and agentic systems that replace manual workflows and give people time back.

My work starts with understanding a real need: where a team’s time goes, what slows them down, and where AI can help. I’ve built and deployed 10+ agents across Revenue, Finance, Talent, Legal, and CS, helping these teams save over 5,400 hours. I lead each project end to end, from stakeholder discovery and requirements to implementation and production deployment. Two stakeholder meetings each week keep the work grounded in the people using it.

I’m originally from Maracaibo, Venezuela. I moved to the U.S. in 2021 to study Computer Science at Georgia Tech, concentrating in artificial intelligence and media. I graduated with Highest Honors in 2025. Along the way, I worked on software for Curiosity Rover camera monitoring at NASA JPL and built tools that brought together design and engineering.

My favorite thing to do is create. This could be creating anything - even a chair! I find joy in turning an idea into something real. That’s what drew me to software engineering: it gives me the technical skills and tools to make so many different things. Today, I’m putting that creative energy into AI systems that solve practical problems for others.

Outside of work, I paint, take photographs, and follow my curiosity wherever it leads.
