About Gary

I'm a software engineer who's spent the last few years going deep on AI agents and LLMs.

Right now I'm a Principal AI Software Engineer at Teamwork.com, building AI Teammates - a suite of AI agents that solve everyday problems for project teams. Scout handles meeting notes and daily catch-ups. Flo runs project health checks. There are more on the way.

Before Teamwork, I co-founded Retrograde as CTO, where we raised $2M and built the world's first AI talent agent - automated systems running across WhatsApp, Telegram and email using LLMs before most people had heard of them. I was also a founding engineer at Axe, building AI agents for logistics.

Prior to the AI work, I spent six years at Distilled, the company behind DoneDeal, Daft and Adverts. I was technical lead on some of their bigger projects and helped scale platforms serving millions of users across Ireland.

I created next-seo, an open-source library for managing SEO in Next.js projects. It's grown to hundreds of contributors and hundreds of thousands of weekly downloads. I also collaborated with Vercel on their official Next.js learning course, covering SEO and Core Web Vitals.

I write about AI tools, dev workflows and what's actually working on LinkedIn. It's where I share most of my thinking these days.
