About Me

My name is Cohen Gallagher. I'm an aspiring AI engineer who learns best by building things. I like working close to the code by designing systems, writing software, breaking it, fixing it, and figuring out why it works the way it does.

Right now, my focus is on getting strong at development fundamentals while exploring how AI fits into real, practical applications. I'm especially interested in building tools that are useful, scalable, and deployable, not just demos that live in a notebook forever.

I enjoy tackling problems that sit at the intersection of software, systems, and automation. Whether it's backend logic, APIs, workflows, or experimenting with AI-driven features, I care about understanding how everything connects end-to-end.

This site is where I share what I'm building, what I'm learning, and how I'm growing as an engineer. While I am still young, I am ambitious. I am actively taking courses to grow my expertise in the field, so I can build real, scalable systems.
