This project features automated end-to-end regression runs checking auth flows, payment syncs, and telemetry channels prior to production release.

01 / The Challenge

Users with food allergies or dietary restrictions must scan tiny ingredient lists, which is slow and prone to human error.

02 / Our Solution

We optimized Apple's Vision framework for on-device OCR, extracting text from curved packaging. The ingredients are parsed against user dietary profiles locally, with OpenAI API classification for complex food additives.

03 / System Outcome

What I Eat enables users to scan and verify food safety in under 2 seconds, detecting allergens with high accuracy.
