✓ Researched and built 15+ ideas, showcasing innovation and rapid prototyping abilities.✓ Designed and built a prototype of a computer vision search tool for the bookflipping industry. Trained a custom object detector based on the YOLO algorithm. Utilized Python, OpenCV, and Google Vision and Azure OCR APIs for text detection.✓ Founded an online service with over 45K active users that legally circumvents paywalls for news articles and research papers by redirecting users to archived versions of the article, enhancing accessibility to information across any device. Built with JavaScript and Cloudflare Workers.✓ Wrote book formatting and publishing software that transforms public domain content into beautiful eBooks worthy of the Apple Books store. This proprietary process restores books for a better overall user experience in design, readability, and e-reader compatibility. Built with Python.✓ Developed an internet-connected car alarm that generated millions in revenue for my client. Engineered all hardware and wrote all firmware in C.✓ Rescued a new client’s four-month-delayed product by quickly resolving a mysterious bootloader issue and a Bluetooth file transfer corruption issue, both of which had been burning through the startup’s capital.
