Pat Brown

I'm a product-minded developer in Los Angeles, building practical software across Swift, Python, and AI-assisted workflows.

My work tends to sit at the intersection of product thinking and hands-on engineering: small tools with clear use cases, iOS apps that respect the user's device, and experiments that turn emerging AI capabilities into maintainable software instead of one-off demos.

Current Focus

  • SwiftUI and SwiftData apps with clean, local-first user experiences
  • Python CLIs and packaging for research, accessibility, and automation workflows
  • AI-assisted development practices that keep product intent, architecture, and tests visible
  • Local models, text-to-speech pipelines, and practical accessibility tooling

Selected Work

wikibee
A Python CLI that extracts Wikipedia articles into clean Markdown, TTS-ready text, and audio-oriented outputs. Built with documentation, CI, type checking, and packaging discipline.

PungentRoots
A SwiftUI iOS app that screens ingredient labels for pungent-root ingredients on device. It uses VisionKit where available, falls back to a legacy capture path when needed, and keeps detection local and rule-based.

FoodSaver
A SwiftUI and SwiftData app for tracking household food inventory and reducing spoilage. The project explores product-spec-driven development and how clear product intent can improve AI-assisted coding workflows.

ChatGPT_CLI
A cross-platform C++ terminal client for working with the ChatGPT API, including command-oriented interaction, history management, and file-based input/output.

Tools And Interests

Swift, SwiftUI, SwiftData, VisionKit, Python, C++, command-line tools, local-first apps, text-to-speech, accessibility, AI development workflows, and the history of programming languages.

Reading And Learning

Recently: Prompt Engineering for Generative AI

Long-running favorites include The C Programming Language, The AWK Programming Language, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, and From Mathematics to Generic Programming.

Contact

I am open to thoughtful collaboration around developer tools, Swift apps, AI-assisted product workflows, and accessibility-focused software.
