Full-stack
AI to UI

Looking for someone who can build the model,
write the API, and design the interface?

Most software engineers pick a lane. I work across the entire stack, from training neural networks on 100k+ samples to designing the interface that delivers the result.

What I Bring
I don't stay in one lane.
I ship.
AI & Machine Learning
PyTorch neural networks on 100k+ samples, OpenAI Whisper pipelines, LLM integrations. I build AI that actually makes it to production, not just a notebook.
Software Engineering
Scalable REST APIs, authentication systems, offline-first architectures, CI/CD, testing. The engineering fundamentals that make software reliable and maintainable.
Product & Interface
Cross-platform React Native apps with Expo, from wireframe to polished product. I care about how users interact with what I build, not just what runs behind the scenes.

Pocket AI
CATTLElytics Inc.
Sep 2025 – Apr 2026
Speak naturally, get structured tasks. End-to-end voice-to-task system built with Whisper, an LLM pipeline, Flask API, and React Native.
PythonFlaskExpoOpenAI WhisperREST API
Integrated OpenAI Whisper for real-time audio transcription, feeding output into a context-aware LLM to parse natural language into structured task fields for the CATTLElytics platform.
Built a voice-to-task pipeline on a Python Flask backend with scalable REST APIs supporting full task lifecycle operations, authentication, and data synchronization with CATTLElytics' proprietary storage system.
Implemented an offline-first architecture with local data storage and syncing when network connectivity is restored, ensuring reliable performance in low-connectivity environments.
Designed and built mobile UI components in Expo React Native, including task views, audio capture flows, and speech confirmation feedback for improved transcription accuracy.
