// Who am I?
If you haven't heard of me yet, don't worry — you will. My name is Hayden Jose, and I'm an up-and-coming software engineer and AI enthusiast based in Orlando, FL. I have a genuine passion for building things that make an actual impact in society.
// What do I do?
Whether it's crafting immersive gaming experiences, developing full-stack web applications, or diving into AI and ML — you name it, I've built it. I'm always pushing myself to learn something new and level up. Curious what I've been working on? Check out my projects below.
If it has my name on it, it's built right. I only ship clean, well-structured, and efficient code.
I break down every challenge that comes my way. I don't ever stop when things get tough, if anything it's what keeps me going. That's just who I am.
I absolutely love learning new things, either a new language, a new tool, a new framework, etc. It doesn't matter, point me to a problem and I'll do whatever it takes to get it resolved.
I don't just join a team, I make them better. Real communication, real collaboration, and a work ethic that speaks for itself.
A spread of shipped products, active R&D, and academic wins — ordered by depth, not date.
A real-time AI voice assistant that orchestrates speech-to-text, LLM inference, and text-to-speech into a single low-latency pipeline for fluid voice conversations. Features wake word activation, interruptible and patient conversation modes, and a model-agnostic architecture supporting Claude, GPT, Gemini, and local models.
A ROBLOX experience all about finding the rarest ores imaginable! Ranging from 1 in 3 all the way to the billions! Forge powerful pickaxes to aid your mining journey. Currently in development — implementing ore rarity systems, pickaxe forging, and inventory management.
A classic yet complex RTS themed ROBLOX game. Expand your empire and eliminate anyone that stands in your way. Become the best of the best and dominate the battlefield. Currently in active development — building out unit AI, multiplayer networking, and base-building systems.
A local-first agentic AI built at BloomKnights Hackathon 2026 with a team of four. Runs a full LLM (qwen3-coder:30b on local Ollama, zero cloud API cost) on a Windows 11 PC, and is controlled entirely from the phone via a Telegram bot and an Edge browser "J-badge" extension. Every submit/send/buy/delete action is gated behind a phone Approve/Deny card, so the agent can draft freely but can't act without consent.
A small collective of imaginative developers aiming high, inspired by a love for programming. Focused on assisting the growth of developers of all kinds — new or experienced — and making a difference to people across the world. Powering the developers.
An AI-powered disaster resilience tool built solo at MEGA Hackathon 2026. Enter any U.S. address and instantly receive multi-hazard risk scores, AI-generated safety reports, real-time NOAA weather alerts, interactive maps with nearby shelters and hospitals, evacuation routes, and more — all powered by federal data from FEMA, USGS, and NOAA.
A navigation system for an autonomous delivery robot. Plans optimized multi-stop routes using A* pathfinding, steers smoothly via Pure Pursuit control, and integrates with a WebSocket server and REST API to receive live orders, update delivery statuses, and log trajectory data — all visualized in a real-time animated simulation.
A personal engineering project to design and build a real-time interactive holographic display system inspired by the gesture-driven interfaces seen in Iron Man. Combines computer vision, real-time hand tracking, 3D UI rendering, and optional physical projection hardware into a cohesive system.
A stacked ensemble machine learning model that predicts HDL cholesterol levels from 97 health variables across 1,200 individuals using the 2024 NHANES dataset. Built for the ASA South Florida Student Data Challenge — placed first in the undergraduate category, earning the Excellence Award as the sole recipient.
A standalone real-time strategy game where players capture nodes, expand territory, and wage war across procedurally generated maps. Build up your network, cut off enemy supply lines, and watch territories fall — node by node.
