Stratify Performance Lab – Biomechanics Analysis Demo

Stratify Performance Lab is a simple web-based prototype exploring how clinicians and coaches could use structured video, movement data, and AI-assisted feedback to improve lifting technique and training decisions. It combines my background in physical therapy, biomechanics, and analytics into a lightweight demo.

  • Built to prototype a workflow for capturing and reviewing barbell and compound lift mechanics.
  • Focuses on how to structure inputs and feedback loops so the system is useful for both lifters and clinicians.
  • Note: this is a prototype for demonstration and portfolio purposes only, not a clinical device or production product.
