Research engineer with statistics and environmental-science training — I build sensor-to-score systems where the job is knowing whether the number means anything: frozen data contracts, QC gates, holdouts, and baselines before anyone trusts a model. Recently owned embedded thermal lab instrumentation end-to-end (Raspberry Pi/C++/Python/PyTorch); solo-shipped a macOS app (github.com/oxremy/BlinkMore). Open to research SWE, ML eval, analytics/data quality, instrumentation, or environmental data roles.

I added a new .dmg for Ventura+ install. Let me know how it goes. You can also clone and build yourself if you'd like

I often don't blink enough when reading on my Mac, so I built BlinkMore to encourage better blinking habits. It tracks your eyes and fades the screen if you aren't blinking enough. Hope this app is helpful :)

It uses a noticeable amount of resources/energy. I mainly use it for text-heavy tasks like reading research papers.

A macOS menu bar app that helps reduce eye strain by fading your screen when you stare at it for too long without blinking. Perfect for long HN sessions!
