Summary
Gabriel Hooks is a full-stack web application developer with eight years of engineering experience, currently building and maintaining Next.js production apps that coordinate school-based mental health services across multiple districts. He specializes in React, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and robust CI/CD with Jest and Cypress, prioritizing maintainable, scalable code that ships on time. At USF’s School Mental Health Collaborative he delivered two active Next.js systems serving hundreds of users, blending product-focused engineering with real-world impact in education. Beyond web stacks, he contributes to open source and systems programming—working with OCaml, Rust, Lua mods, Linux desktop tools, and declarative Nix infrastructure—which keeps his engineering approach experimental and polyglot. Based in Tampa, Florida, he pairs practical delivery experience with a curiosity for low-level tooling that informs cleaner, more reliable application design.
