The boring part

Hello world! My name is Pedro J. Fernandez but most people know me by Jezel or Je. I'm a software engineer from Morovis, Puerto Rico but currently living in the US. I love solving problems and software is the most enjoyable way for me to do that.

I have experience in the following areas with no particular order: robotics, iOS tweaks, autonomous driving, computer vision, embedded systems, web, machine learning, etc.

Projects

things I have built

iOS App

Kunai

Kunai is an iOS app that identifies anime scenes based on images. The app only needs an image to tell you which anime, which episode, and the exact timestamp the screenshot was taken from.

Tweak

Viper

Enhancing jailbroken user's experience by adding custom widgets to the home screen, app drawer accesible from anywhere, lock screen customization and more.

Tweak

Scorpion

My first commercial tweak redesigned the boring iOS call interface with an unobtrusive and modern design. It changed how user handled their incoming and outgoing calls while maintaining the same iOS' full-screen call interface functionalities.
