Hi, I’m Daniel.

Based in western Colorado.

I use data, AI, and machine learning to solve everyday problems. Family is important to me, and I’ve played French horn for 20 years.

Life shapes what I build.

Projects

Things I’ve made

A few projects that started with a real question, curiosity, or problem I wanted to solve.

Sheet Music Watermark Removal & Upscale I wanted cleaner, more readable sheet music, so I built a pipeline to remove watermarks and upscale low-resolution scans.
Handwriting Legibility Scoring My wife said my handwriting was hard to read, so I explored whether a model could recognize my handwritten digits.
Baby Name Predictor I built a recommendation model to learn my wife’s taste and help us narrow the list when naming our child.
