I led the creation of a new paradigm for how people interact directly with machine learning models—accessible not just to developers, but to consumers, students, educators, and hobbyists.

We identified an opportunity to bring machine learning as a playful experience onto iPad, transforming it from a developer-focused tool into an intuitive, touch-first experience that anyone could use.

Original concepts pictured below. The full project is private.

The result was an experience where users could build, train, and deploy models entirely on-device. This project launched at Apple stores and Kode with Klossy where 2,000 students used the app to create their own Machine Learning models.

This idea originated from Co-ML, a research prototype from the human-centered machine learning research team at Apple. See their paper here. Discovering this, I worked with our machine learning platform engineering team to turn transform the idea into an Apple product, with executive sponsorship.
