I apologize ahead of time

Welcome to my website.


My name is Garey. I am a software engineer.

This site is meant to be a representation of myself and my work as it pertains to software. Anything strange or annoying that you encounter herein is likely intentional.

Thank you for your time.


Below you will find some relevant links, a small collection of my operational* side projects and old client work when I used to have the energy to keep working after work. There is also a guide to using this website since it is possible to get lost in its madness.

Client Work


Most of this is very old, but I'll leave it here to collect dust.

  • The Frank
    I built this site for a repeat customer of mine, Jason, who wanted to share a daily sports email with subscribers. This was just a landing page. Very basic work written in AngularJS, hosted on Firebase.
  • DesignCue v1
    I built this site for a another repeat customer of mine, Preston, who wanted to create a super-fast way for customers to generate a quote for design services. Try the quote generator on the homepage. Written in React, hosted on Firebase.
  • DesignCue v2
    Preston came back with another business model and we built v2. He's an incredible designer. The talent page has a nice carousel if you scroll down. It could have been better. Written in React, hosted on Firebase.
  • Skynet2029
    I really just find it funny that the Wayback Machine exists. So this is one of my very first paid client projects. I was commissioned to build a Terminator fan site by a guy I met on Xbox Live. I was 13 or 14 when I built it. He paid me in video games. Be careful clicking around the wayback calendar because it was an adult site before it was a Terminator fan site. Built in PHP Nuke, hosted somewhere cheap.

Visitor Guide


If this isn't the worst thing you've seen, just keep your eyes open and click on things.

Things to click:

  1. Dr. Snoogles, The Mischievous Chihuahua. Give him a click or six.
  2. Annoyed by the shaking text? Click it and forget it.
  3. Lost on a farm? Try clicking the massive hydrogen ball when it's not overcast.
As a side note, this entire site was built by me, Garey, using mostly my imagination... and also some knowledge of React, HTML, and CSS.
