I started my career in finance, but made the switch to software after realizing I wanted to build things, not just analyze them. Since then, I’ve picked up skills in full-stack development, AI engineering, data pipelines, and cloud infrastructure.
I’m interested in contributing to open-source projects and early-stage startups.
Fun Fact: “In 2013, only 28 babies born in England and Wales were named Gary, leading Garys to be labeled a “dying breed” ~ Wikipedia

Pollyglot - AI Language Learning Assistant
Interactive language tutor powered by OpenAI
Live Demo: project-pollyglot.vercel.app
Independent final project in Scrimba’s “Intro to AI Engineering” course - specifically OpenAI API integration, zero-shot vs few-shot prompting, and parameter tuning (temperature, stop-sequences, frequency/presence penalties).
Cloudflare workers to eliminate cold starts and reduce latency. System few-shot to balance effective responses with token usage. AI Gateway for rate limiting and surge control.
Tech: React, Vite, Node.js, Express, Cloudflare Workers, OpenAI API
Project Repo
3D Metaverse with Fully Decentralized Authentication
Live Demo - Click “Don’t Have MetaMask Wallet?” To Bypass SIWE Auth
Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) authentication via MetaMask enables users to have greater control over their data. An interesting implication that sets the stage for digital ownership backed by trustless enforcement mechanisms.
3D environment adapted from Claude Artifact “Anthropic Office Simulator”, which uses HTML/JS and mocked AI responses. Adapted to use React.js and integrated Gemini API for real chatbot and NPC interactions.
Tech: Three.js, Ethereum, Web3.js, Google Gemini API, Node.js
Project Repo
End-to-End AI Infrastructure: Deploy Local LLMs Remotely

The Simple Library
Constructors & Prototypes - 1st JavaScript Project (Dec. 2024)
Built with vanilla JavaScript, this project was my first taste of OOP, getting some reps in for prototypal-inheritance, JS classes, constructor functions, DOM manipulation, and local storage.
Live Demo
What I Learned
- Object-oriented programming with JavaScript classes and prototypes
- DOM manipulation and event handling
- Form validation and data persistence
- Responsive web design principles
- Code organization and project structure
