About Gary Smith
I blend code, creativity, and human-centered thinking to build tools with 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 care most about building thoughtfully crafted products that reduce friction, respect users’ time, and spark delight. My work lives at the intersection of Technology, Design, and Cohesion – and I’m especially drawn to tools that help people express themselves, stay organized, and feel more in control of their world.I’ve built KPI tools for Fortune 500 execs, mobile platforms for students, 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.On campus, I lead various technical projects, participate in LGBTQ+ development programs, and serve as President of the Acts of Kindness Initiative. Whether I’m writing JSX, sketching in Figma, or chasing my foster cats away from my keyboard, I’m always working to turn ideas into something intuitive, useful, and especially delightful.
