Hey, I'm
Brandon Chau
CS Graduate & Software Engineer
Building things across the full stack, from real-time ML pipelines on edge hardware to data platforms and web apps. I like working on problems where performance and reliability actually matter.
Experience
Junior Developer Intern
Artisan EdgeIrvine, CA
- Engineered 5 interactive data visualization widgets with a unified architecture satisfying both Claude's MCP App protocol and ChatGPT's Agent SDK, enabling clients to switch between AI platforms with zero re-integration.
- Scoped and shipped a production-ready cross-platform MCP server prototype in under one month, containerizing with Docker and deploying to AWS, cutting client deliverable turnaround time by ~40%.
- Replaced raw chat output and plain text tables with interactive visualizations, eliminating a manual formatting step and giving clients an immediately interpretable view of their data.
Undergraduate Researcher
California State University, Long BeachLong Beach, CA
- Built an automated Python preprocessing pipeline transforming 4,000+ raw sensor samples per trial into structured datasets, cutting processing time by ~60% and establishing a reproducible ingestion standard.
- Deployed and benchmarked TinyML models in C/C++ on embedded hardware across 5 metrics (latency, power, memory, accuracy, F1-score), identifying optimal inference configurations for resource-constrained environments.
- Authored reproducible SOPs covering pipeline logic, model deployment procedures, and benchmarking methodology, contributing results to an IEEE paper submission.
Technical Assistant
Phoenix RealtyAnaheim, CA
- Migrated 5+ years of client and listing records from paper into a structured digital system, making records searchable and cutting the time spent tracking down deal history.
- Built an Excel tracker covering 10+ active listings and client pipeline stages across 5 Southern California markets, replacing a manual paper-based process.
- Handled all day-to-day tech needs for the office including software setup, troubleshooting, and onboarding new tools.
Projects
An AI-powered gym tracking app that uses real-time pose estimation to count reps, detect form errors, and coach users through workouts hands-free. Point your phone at yourself, select an exercise, and the app tracks every rep, calls out form issues by voice, and logs your session automatically.
A real-time fall detection system built on a Raspberry Pi that watches over vulnerable individuals and instantly alerts family members via Telegram with a short video clip for verification, reducing the chaos of emergency calls and ensuring someone always knows when to act, even if no one is home.
A full analytics pipeline that turns 9,800 raw sales records into a live Power BI dashboard tracking revenue by region, product, and customer segment. It also runs a 6-month revenue forecast so you can see where the business is heading, not just where it has been.
A pregame research tool that pulls live NBA stats, odds, and player data from multiple APIs and surfaces matchup insights through an interactive dashboard. Built for anyone who wants data-driven decisions before tip-off without spending an hour manually hunting down numbers.
A shared kitchen app for roommates and households to track what food they have, get alerts before things expire, and discover recipes based on what is already in the fridge. Scan a receipt to add items instantly instead of typing everything in one by one.
