Hey, I'm Dawnena. I'm an AI engineer and accessibility specialist based in Fort Collins, Colorado. I help companies build custom AI tools, make their websites accessible, and I created patent-pending sign language recognition technology.
I focus on AI that solves real problems and accessibility that actually works. No buzzwords, just results.
Chatbots, document processing, workflow automation. I build AI tools that save your team hours every week. Claude, GPT-4, open-source models.
Starting at $5,000WCAG 2.1/2.2 compliance. I'll find the issues, explain them clearly, and help you fix them. Avoid lawsuits, reach more users.
Starting at $2,500Build AI that answers questions from your documents. Internal knowledge bases, customer support, documentation search.
Starting at $7,500My patent-pending technology. Real-time ASL recognition for your app or website. 94% accuracy, 50+ signs.
API access from $299/moReact, Python, Node.js, AWS. Modern web apps built for scale. I've shipped code at Amazon and Indeed.
$150/hourA few things I've built recently.
Patent-pending sign language recognition. 3D CNN + LSTM neural networks trained on real ASL data.
PyTorch Computer Vision AWS
Multi-modal accessibility tool with ASL video, audio descriptions, and text translations for websites.
React Node.js MongoDB
Video annotation tool for creating ASL training datasets. Used to build the SLR model.
Python OpenCV ML PipelineI'm an AI engineer with roots in the Deaf community and Lakota heritage. Before starting SonZo AI, I spent 10+ years at companies like Amazon (Project Kuiper), Indeed, and Blue Federal Credit Union.
I have an M.S. in Data Science with a focus on deep learning, and a B.S. in Computer Science with a software concentration—both from University of Denver. I'm AWS certified and I've shipped production ML systems at scale.
My sign language recognition technology is patent-pending (63/918,518). I built it because I saw a gap—most "accessibility" solutions don't actually involve the Deaf community. I'm changing that.
