I founded Bowdler and shipped a native macOS AI video-processing app that performs on-device speech recognition with zero cloud calls. It reached 82 trial downloads and 40 paid users through a $59 one-time purchase.
I built its multi-engine ASR pipeline around Whisper MLX, Parakeet GGUF, Silero VAD, and Vosk, reaching 3.63% WER on an internal benchmark. I also engineered Secure Enclave hardware-bound licensing, a Go/PostgreSQL licensing API, and a Swift AVFoundation media engine.
