Hi, I'm Alan Garber — a frontend developer turned AI engineer. After years of building user-facing apps, I joined the Fractal Tech accelerator to deepen my backend skills and retrain in AI development. Along the way, I worked with multiple startups on fast-moving, high-impact projects involving full-stack engineering, LLM integrations, and scalable infrastructure.

Originally trained in law, I discovered programming during the COVID lockdowns and quickly transitioned from JavaScript basics to building React and TypeScript apps. That curiosity eventually led me to backend development with Go and Python, database design with PostgreSQL, and AI tooling using the OpenAI SDK. I'm especially excited about projects that combine UX with real technical depth.

One of my favorite projects was a full-stack tarot reading app — built with a Go backend, React frontend, and PostgreSQL database, deployed on AWS with Nginx. It reflects what I love most: shipping end-to-end features, learning fast, and bringing creative ideas to life with real code.

I'm currently looking for full-stack or AI-focused roles where I can help teams move quickly, think clearly, and build meaningful software. If that's you, let's talk.
