I'm Wei Gao (Ivy Gao), a full-stack developer with hands-on experience delivering real-world web apps and contributing to agile teams. I recently built and deployed a full-stack computer vision system at Barenbrug NZ that automates clover detection from drone imagery using self-trained models, with a responsive UI and practical AI tooling for pasture management. I hold multiple master’s qualifications and a strong technical toolkit in Python, C#, .NET Core, React, and cloud/container technologies. I’m eager to tackle real-world challenges, grow with a team, and deliver scalable, data-driven solutions.
