About Me
👋 Hi, I'm Alrick Grandison - a Data Analyst, Software Engineer, Innovator, Builder, and Philosopher.
💼 I'm growing my knowledge and expertise in AI/LLM technologies while developing software libraries, tools, and video games under my studio Algodal.
🌱 Creator of Algodal Parser Generator and VkForge — an open-source Vulkan rendering engine.
🌍 Designing my own programming language — poc-pl (proof of concept programming language) as I am currently undecided on the name..
💞️ I'm open to collaborating on open-source projects that push the boundaries of technology and push society forward.
Why Hire me?
I am a senior expert with over 10 years of combined experience in data analytics and software engineering. I approach my work with focus, discipline, and a sense of ownership, and I take responsibility for delivering results end to end. I have worked directly with clients and alongside cross-functional teams in startups and fast-growing organizations.
I am comfortable operating in remote and unstructured environments that require self-management, clear judgment, and consistent execution. I move problems forward without any need for oversight, and I adapt quickly as priorities change. I bring a practical mindset and a strong commitment to doing the work well.
I am someone you can trust to take complex problems, break them down, deliver solutions that support real business decisions, complete all tasks in a timely manner, and go above and beyond what is required.
