Pete developed cross-platform speech recognition and speaker identification capabilities for the moonshine-ai/moonshine repository, focusing on robust deployment across Python, Swift, and C++. He engineered streaming transcription, speaker diarization, and benchmarking tools, integrating technologies like ONNX Runtime, Keras, and Docker to ensure reproducible builds and efficient model deployment. His work included optimizing audio processing pipelines, implementing clustering algorithms for speaker analytics, and refining packaging for Linux, Windows, and macOS. By addressing concurrency, build automation, and documentation, Pete delivered a maintainable SDK that supports mobile and edge devices, demonstrating depth in system architecture, cross-language integration, and performance optimization throughout the project.

Month: 2026-01 — Moonshine (moonshine-ai/moonshine). Delivered cross‑platform distribution enhancements, expanded Swift/Python packaging and integration, and significant performance and quality improvements. Notable items include MacOS support with a renamed iOS to Swift, Xcode MacOS example, and Swift tests; Swift package publishing and Windows packaging improvements; moving WAV loading into the main Swift package; MicTranscriber implementation and Swift UI for Transcriber; a new C++ interface and tests; embedding-based speaker analytics (pyannote embeddings, cosine distance, online clustering, diarization); benchmark tooling and performance instrumentation (transcription latency, Python benchmarking script, OnnxRuntime run timing); and comprehensive documentation, license updates, and release management. These changes broaden platform coverage, reduce time-to-value for customers, and raise overall software quality and performance.

December 2025 milestones for moonshine-ai/moonshine: progressed from initial repository import to distribution-ready, cross-platform SDK with improved build hygiene, packaging pipelines, and platform-specific capabilities. Key features delivered span repository setup, diagnostics, and improved release tooling, including Git LFS integration for large assets, refined ignore rules, and a version bump to resolve dependencies, complemented by publishing readiness (Maven Central) and test-output cleanup. Core platform expansion covers Python with a refactor and runtime features (streaming, mic transcription, tests), model downloading, and a reorganized Python source tree; Android and iOS support were extended via an Android example, iOS core library, build targets, and Swift wrappers. Packaging and distribution pipelines were established through a pip package build, a Dockerized Linux build environment, and a script to build Linux packages, reinforcing reproducible builds. Reliability and code quality improvements included fixing MicTranscriber, addressing macOS Python install issues, and removing legacy C API for cleaner API boundaries. Overall, these efforts have accelerated cross-platform integration, improved artifact quality, and delivered end-to-end release capabilities with measurable business value.

November 2025 (moonshine repository) - Delivered stability improvements for Keras/TFLite export by adding explicit names to model inputs/outputs and introducing an identity layer to preserve output ordering. This enhanced deployment reliability and reduced post-export ambiguity across mobile and edge deployments.
