Hi, my name is Griffin 👋

I love to build beautiful things.

I'm currently working as a Senior Python Engineer at Prompt.

Previously, I've worked:

• As a Senior SWE at Variance, solving hard problems with AI Agents.
• On a voice-enabled AI assistant, optimized for running on the raspberry pi. Think humane ai pin, but for frontline workers.

I’ve also shipped four apps to the App Store, collectively downloaded and used by thousands of people. The most successful, WYD, peaked at over 400 daily active users before getting acquired.

Some other projects I've worked on are:

• an ascii art converter in Python
• building a computer from scratch
• an extensible tool that makes it easier to create .gitignore files
• training a mnist classifier to 99% accuracy using only NumPy
• a json parser from scratch in Python
• a particle visualizer in Lua using the Love2d game engine
• a deep work tracker in Python (cli tool)
• contributing to the new comma connect web app

My favorite language is Python, but appreciate the simplicity and performance of Go when solving problems at scale. Functional languages are pretty cool as well (but dumb when strictly defined).
