Garion Milazzo

Computer Science student at the University of New Mexico focused on software engineering, backend systems, machine learning, and developer-facing tools.

I like projects that mix clear engineering fundamentals with interesting problem solving: debugging real codebases, designing maintainable systems, and building things that are useful to other people.

What I'm Focused On

  • Backend and full-stack software engineering
  • Applied machine learning and data-focused projects
  • Open-source contribution workflow: debugging, testing, code review, and pull requests
  • Building polished software projects and developer-facing tools

Recent Open-Source Contributions

  • excalidraw/excalidraw#11192 Fixed grouped selection outlines so they use the active highlight color consistently, and added a regression test around the selection behavior.
  • pytest-dev/pytest#14391 Updated pytest.raises(..., match=...) failures to preserve the original exception as the direct cause of the resulting AssertionError, with test coverage and changelog updates.

Featured Project

  • WildFireDetector Wildfire image-classification project with reproducible baselines, experiment tracking, arbitrary-image inference, and a final model that reached 96.5% test accuracy with 0.991 AUC.

Tech Stack

  • Languages: Python, Java, Haskell, C, JavaScript, TypeScript
  • Libraries and tools: TensorFlow, OpenCV, NumPy, Pandas, Git, pytest
  • Areas of interest: backend development, ML, developer tooling, debugging, testing
  • Environment: Linux, macOS

What You'll Find Here

  • Repositories centered on software engineering, ML, debugging, and problem solving
  • Open-source contributions showing how I work in existing codebases

More projects are in progress as I keep rounding out backend, ML, and developer-tooling work.
