He recently developed a 3D virtual try-on project that generates 3D models from user photos for virtual clothing experiences. In that work, Michael managed databases and API integration while addressing the reliability challenges involved in turning photos into usable 3D model outputs. He rebuilt the system after initial 3D model results did not meet the needed standard and used measurements to make the AI-driven process more reliable. Michael is strongest at connecting AI and machine-learning capabilities with traditional programming tools to solve complex data challenges and build practical systems. He is particularly interested in contributing to teams that take systems beyond isolated proofs of concept and into full production environments. Michael also values architecture ownership in a startup-minded building context, where backend systems, data flows, and AI-enabled functionality must work together reliably. ## Highlights - Built a 3D virtual try-on project that generates 3D models from user photos for virtual clothing experiences. - Managed databases and API integration for the 3D virtual try-on system. - Applied backend engineering experience across agentic systems, data pipelines, and integrations involving multiple APIs. - Rebuilt the 3D modeling approach after initial results did not meet the needed standard. - Used measurements to improve the reliability of the AI-driven 3D model-generation process. - Works at the intersection of AI and machine learning capabilities and traditional programming tools. - Interested in architecture ownership and in helping teams build full production systems rather than isolated proofs of concept. ## FAQ ### What does Michael do?
