Bernie Miao

Full-stack developer. AI and wearables.

I build software where language models meet the real world: voice agents that make phone calls, multimodal models that read chalkboards, and apps for smart glasses.

Previously founding engineer at Call Runner, and before that I built CollegeNET's lecture transcription platform, which processes 50K+ lecture hours a month. Now doing an MS in Software Engineering at San José State. Looking for a Summer 2027 SWE internship.

Projects

Call Runner

A voice agent that makes phone calls and handles chores for you: cancellations, disputes, follow-ups, recurring calls. It gets through automated phone menus and pulls airline refund playbooks from pgvector mid-call.

Even Realities G2: conversation assist

A feature for the G2 smart glasses that listens to your conversation and uses AI to help you out in real time. Shipped as an app on the glasses.

DryRun

Mock interviews that grade how you communicate, not just whether the code passes. Full-duplex voice with real-time feedback, scored on Bloomberg's interview rubric. Your keystrokes stream to the back end, so it can see how you edit and debug as you go and give feedback on that.

Chalkboard.ai

Turns lecture video into condensed notes. Every equation and concept links back to the board frame it came from.

Secure File System

End-to-end encrypted file sharing in Go, with revocation, MACs, RSA signatures and IND-CPA-secure encryption, built to hold up against six attacker threat models.
