I'm building AI-native networking and event management at Mixle, where I've integrated real-time WebSocket messaging and developed a modular Events feature designed for maintainability and extensibility.
Previously at Moultrie, I built an animal re-identification feature using YOLO and automated Azure DevOps validation workflows that contributed to a 25% reduction in pre-release defects. I've also processed 300,000+ publication records at UAB and built Whispae, a privacy-first cross-platform mental wellness app with on-device journaling and anonymous community features.
