Get Shit Done (GSD) Ethos
I am a GSD (Get Shit Done) engineer. I don't build just to build, I hate waste, and I don't continue if I don't believe what I'm working on can actually be useful. My target is to solve problems with maximum efficiency.
I only build what is genuinely useful. Stripping away bloated layers and waste ensures that products ship cleanly, perform optimally, and solve actual customer needs.
I have actively utilized ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini in startups and enterprise pipelines since they launched, always staying up-to-date on each piece of tech. I leverage them to augment speed, optimize logic, and construct smart features rapidly.
To demonstrate my drive for tinkering and persistent problem-solving, I designed and 3D printed a physical desktop companion. I wired a Waveshare display with a custom-coded microcontroller (MCU) for eye expressions. I then integrated a local Mac Mini query handler that accepts vocal queries, calls LLM models, and synthesizes expressions and speech responses in real-time.
