Senior🎓
Top SchoolGarrett Smith is a Senior Full Stack Software Engineer in Boston with a decade of experience building responsive web and mobile experiences and production AI features. He has designed and shipped end-to-end LLM-powered systems—real-time generation pipelines, multi-provider integrations, and a classification service processing ~15,000 conversations/day—that measurably improved user outcomes like meeting completions. Comfortable across React, GraphQL, Elixir/Phoenix, and Rails, Garrett combines rigorous TDD and analytics-driven product design to surface opportunities from large-scale messaging data. He led migration efforts, performance-focused backend redesigns, and developer-friendly tooling while enabling non-engineers through CMS and telemetry work. Outside work he teaches and builds community tech education and balances code with climbing, music, and long-distance cycling—hints of the persistence and creativity he brings to engineering problems.
