Nikhil Lockman

Software developer and BSc graduate who independently designed, built, and shipped a full stack mobile health application spanning React Native, Express.js, PostgreSQL, and a trained YOLOv8 computer vision model. Combines applied machine learning and full stack development with a research background in clinical data analysis. Seeking software engineering, machine learning, and AI focused roles.

Founder and Sole Developer at Monitera (2025-11 – Present)

Architected and shipped a complete full stack mobile health application independently.

• Architected and shipped a complete full stack mobile health application independently, using React Native and Expo for the client, Express.js for the REST API layer, and PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM for persistent storage.
• Trained and integrated a YOLOv8 computer vision model for oral image analysis, using Microsoft Azure to support model training, and applied angle specific class filtering at inference to reduce false positives on non clinical images.
• Designed a guided 5 angle capture system delivering real time on device feedback, resolving inconsistent framing and lighting in patient submitted photos and increasing the proportion of images usable for model inference.
• Built an insurance cost estimation engine covering 22 procedure codes across 6 categories and 3 income tiers, plus a clinic facing dashboard, a 7 category notification system, and offline first sync with server reconciliation.

• Analyzed Canadian Dental Care Plan program data in Excel to identify structural barriers to oral healthcare access, and presented findings to faculty and researchers at an annual research conference.
• Designed and executed field research in Swan River, Manitoba, surveying rural residents to collect primary access data.

Research Assistant, Dr. Pylypjuk Lab at Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba (2022-06 – 2023-10)

• Applied ANOVA and additional statistical models to a 3 year cohort of approximately 450 patients to identify relationships between maternal diabetes and fetal macrosomia outcomes.
• Collected, validated, and logged quantitative data from ultrasound and fetal Doppler imaging across the study cohort.

Club Instructor and Ambassador at WISE Kid Netic Energy, University of Manitoba (2023-03 – 2025-03)

• Designed and delivered hands on STEM workshops to student groups of 5 to 20 across a 2 year appointment, translating technical concepts for non technical audiences.
• Selected for a local news interview representing the organization on sustainability and diversity in STEM careers, and mentored Black students individually on entry pathways into underrepresented technical fields.

Maintenance and Operations Manager at The Golf Dome (2022-06 – Present)

• Manage daily facility operations, customer service, and safety compliance independently across a 4 year tenure while balancing concurrent full time study and research work.
