Scott Ho · Senior software engineer

Native craft. Applied intelligence.

I build native iOS apps, Node.js backends, and practical AI tools. My work spans connected devices, streaming video, and a personal portfolio of 10 published apps. Memoize Studio is where I turn new ideas into working software.

02 / Under the hood

Beyond the app.

Selected independent projects and reusable tools. These are engineering projects, separate from the published apps above.

RankScout — App Store Growth Intelligence

Node.js, TypeScript, Next.js, PostgreSQL, Drizzle, pg-boss

Built a web dashboard and background-worker service for Apple Search observations, App Store Connect ingestion, ranking history, and metadata experiments. Added idempotent jobs, bounded retries, rate limiting, schema validation, and liveness/readiness endpoints.

KokoroEngineKit — On-device Speech Package

Swift 6, Swift Concurrency, MLX, Metal, Swift Package Manager

Created a reusable iOS/macOS wrapper around the open-source Kokoro speech engine. Isolated inference in a Swift actor, bounded the MLX cache, validated voice inputs, and exposed PCM audio and optional token timing through a typed public API.

Transcript Strategy Lab — Apple Intelligence Workbench

SwiftUI, Foundation Models, Swift Package Manager

Built a macOS workbench and reusable StrategyCore library for transcript summarization. Added versioned prompts, dynamic output schemas, token-budget checks, model-availability handling, and structured generation in fresh model sessions.

Hermes Autoresearch — Agent Workflow Tooling

Python, Codex CLI, Git, YAML, pytest

Built a beta CLI supervisor around Hermes and Codex with baseline measurement, atomic changes, verification commands, and metric-based acceptance. Added Git isolation, rollback of rejected changes, and structured run logs.
