Lead Hardware Engineer + Data Scientist

Quasi Ventures

Fullstack Developer

• Managed a small team to build a generative AI entertainment app. Built unique creation algorithms to generate pieces of content dynamically as the user interacted with the app.
• Built on top of generative AI tools such as Stable Diffusion, GPT-4, Langchain, MusicLM, Runway, etc to create many modalities of entertainment. Created meta-prompting architectures to adapt these creations to user preferences over time. Some of these models were implemented into production with days of their release.
• Managed backend database of several thousand users. Created rigorously tested endpoints and optimized backend calls. Interacted with several external APIs.
• Led development of iOS app. Used Xcode, swift, javascript, firebase, and postman to build scalable fullstack code. Iterated from user feedback to adapt our user interface to be more intuitive.
