Gary Smith blends code, creativity, and human-centered thinking to build tools that spark impact.

Hi, I’m Gary, a Senior at Princeton University studying Computer Science and Engineering (B.S.E.). I’m originally from Edmond, Oklahoma, where I first began exploring computers and design — two areas that continue to shape the way I think and build.

I’ve built mobile platforms for students, dashboards for hedge funds, spatial AR interfaces that rethink the desktop metaphor, and AI crowd working systems that support real researchers. I’ve also led cross-functional teams through everything from product launches to kindness campaigns – because to lead well is to care first – about people, their needs, and the impact our work has on them. I’ve picked a few things up along the way...
