Gabriel Dautovi

Computer Science senior at Michigan Tech

I build across database development, applied AI/ML, and full-stack software engineering — most recently building data pipelines at United Wholesale Mortgage and researching how well AI-authored pull requests hold up against the V-model.

Outside of programming I'm usually playing video games, working out, hiking, or out with a camera.
