bgerd/README.md

Hi, I'm Gerard.

I build things to understand them. Prototyping is how I think — across hardware, cloud systems, and the spaces in between.

Right now I'm working on rgem.io — a real-time collaborative light grid exploring shared presence across distance. Web, serverless, and custom wireless hardware, all talking to each other. Try it live.

I'm also building an MCP server backed by NYC MTA transit data — a self-deployable reference implementation with observability built in, designed to help others experiment with agentic patterns and understand the real tradeoffs in cost, prompting, and efficacy.

My career has moved through research → product → engineering — GPU computing at NVIDIA, AMD, and Adobe; product leadership at startups; serverless architecture as a CTO; synthetic data research at DTU. The thread across all of it is taking complex, ambiguous problems and building my way to clarity.
