Gary L.

AI Consultant & Fullstack Engineer | Ex-Founding Eng, SF AI Startup

Hi I'm Gary 😁. Unlike the "AI Engineers" on here, I didn't learn by watching tutorials on youtube, or figuring it out as I go. I learned by building a startup in San Francisco. Generated $10M in funding as a founding engineer, built real AI systems processing 1,000,000,000 queries per month. And I've scaled my own design agency to $30,000 in cash collected in 30 days. I've partnered directly with OpenAI, consulted for companies spending over $10,000,000 a month on AI, and built real business systems from the ground up. I do this usually custom-coded, in Python or Typescript, spinning up my own AWS/GCP services as needed. However. sometimes it makes more sense for my clients to use no-code tools. In that case, I can build in Zapier, Make, N8N, Webflow. Hiring a real engineer means I can leverage your existing infrastructure to speed up the process. Hiring someone who's ran a business means I know the value in staying lean. All this to say: No matter what problem your business may be facing, I've probably built the solution before and at a much larger scale. I'm confident I'll hit whatever job you have for me out of the park. Just because I'm new to upwork doesn't mean I'm new to software. Looking forward to working together and building something great :) Reach out to me and we can go from there. Cheers, Gary
