# Nahrin Oda > Founder | Engineer | Ai Builder Location: Greater Toronto Area, Canada, Canada Profile: https://flows.cv/nahrin I’m a Software Engineer and AI Builder with a background in architecture and user-centered design. I’ve always been drawn to complex problems, fast execution, and crafting experiences that feel simple, intuitive, and deeply human.My architectural training gave me a strong foundation in systems thinking, visual clarity, and product storytelling. My engineering career allowed me to turn those patterns into scalable, reliable software — from leading frontend teams to delivering high-impact platform upgrades.Most recently, while completing the Machine Learning Specialization with Andrew Ng, I began exploring the intersection of voice, identity, and AI. That exploration grew into Navox, a tool that transforms traditional résumés into interactive AI ProfileCards powered by voice cloning and LLMs.I build with speed, intention, and care for detail — combining engineering, design, and AI to create products that feel alive, personal, and meaningful.Always learning, always shipping. ## Work Experience ### Founder & Builder — Navox Labs (Private Beta) @ Navox Labs Jan 2025 – Present | Toronto, ON Navox is an AI tool that turns traditional résumés into conversational ProfileCards.
