Pedro Navarrete
Software Engineer / Public-sector software, applied ML, and interactive systems
At the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, I build online services based on legislation, policy, and forms. Outside work, I build applied ML tools, 3D web experiences, browser graphics, and game AI.
I care about software that is clear, dependable, and does not waste people's time.
- Public programs Turning rules and forms into online services
- Full-stack systems Interfaces, APIs, background jobs, and data flows
- Applied systems ML inference, 3D graphics, and game logic
