Engineering Highlights

  1. 01Custom audio driver — Built a C/C++ Core Audio driver from scratch for sub-10ms latency capture across 8kHz–192kHz sample rates.
  2. 02On-device ML — All audio processing and transcription happens locally — no audio leaves the machine, ensuring HIPAA compliance by design.
  3. 03System Extension architecture — Uses macOS System Extensions and XPC Services for sandboxed, crash-isolated audio capture separate from the main app process.
  4. 04Clinical Notes AI integration — Real-time pipeline from audio capture to AI-generated clinical documentation, replacing manual note-taking during patient sessions.
