Hi, I'm Mitchell Dawkins, a Software Engineer passionate about building software that makes a lasting impact. Right now, I'm working on a multi-tenant video platform that pulls insights from video content — and documenting everything I learn along the way. This site is a space to capture the challenges, decisions, and discoveries that come with building meaningful tech and helping run a nonprofit. Follow along as I share the practical lessons I pick up throughout the journey.
An offline-first biblical fasting companion PWA for a 190-day journey — daily plans, scripture, check-ins, journal, streaks, and optional Supabase groups with Web Push reminders.
A microlearning PWA that replaces doomscrolling with a one-card feed of ideas, news, Gutenberg books, and free learning sites — plus catalog-grounded Ask via OpenAI or Ollama.
A self-hosted VPS platform for deploying and managing a fleet of WordPress sites, each running as an isolated Docker stack with Git-driven deploys, centralized MainWP management, automated backups, and a FastAPI + React control plane.
Full-stack NBA analytics platform with AI-powered prop bet predictions, ML models trained on historical player data, real-time ESPN integration, and a Monte Carlo simulation engine for edge finding.
Automated data pipeline that transforms raw CSV film logs into polished weekly and season-long football player evaluation reports — complete with a static site, PDF exports, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
Full-stack WNBA analytics platform with AI-powered prop predictions, a real-time betting scanner, Monte Carlo simulations, and a multi-service backend built across PHP/Laravel and TypeScript/SvelteKit.
A fully self-hosted microservices stack that turns any article URL into an NPR-style two-host podcast episode using local LLMs and zero-shot voice cloning — no paid APIs required.
A multi-tenant platform for processing, transcribing, and analyzing video content using AI — with custom model training, RAG-powered search, and tenant-isolated Docker containers.
I built a Chrome extension that records the whole browser tab, muxes H.264 MP4 in the browser, and downloads a file I can send to clients or other devs — no OBS, no conversion step.
I built Fasted — an offline-first PWA that walks a June–December biblical fasting journey day by day: phase instructions, scripture, check-ins, journal, streaks, and optional group sync.
I built Thinker — a microlearning PWA that mixes bite-sized ideas, news, Gutenberg books, and free learning sites into a one-card feed. Remembers this device for today; tomorrow starts fresh.
I'm a Softweare Engineer passionate about building software, problem solving and making an impact. With experience in AI/ML, software development, and cloud architecture, I'm constantly exploring the boundaries of what's possible with today's AI tools.
