Hi, I'm Garrett.
I build with data, physics & code.
Data scientist working across machine learning, high-performance computing and scientific simulation — from LLM pipelines at Booz Allen Hamilton to quantum and biochemistry research. This site is where I build interactive explorations of the things I find fascinating.
