Hi, I’m Gary, born and raised in Sydney, Australia.

I run a startup called Bloom AI, an AI tutor platform for schools and universities. I write about AI in education on Substack. I also provide strategy consulting to educational institutions and startups.

I have over a decade of experience as an educator, both at a high school and university level. I teach economics and mathematics at UNSW and the University of Sydney. I previously started and operated a personalised high school tutoring company. I’m gradually publishing my high school notes online and have authored an economics workbook for Year 12 students.

I was a management consultant at McKinsey & Company. I was a Fellow at the McKinsey Global Institute thinktank, where I did research on the Future of Asian consumers, global flows and the African economy. I’ve also worked at a no-code automation startup, and had stints at Goldman Sachs and a high frequency trading firm.

I studied economics and pure mathematics at UNSW and Wharton. I wrote my Honours thesis in graph theory, which resulted in a published paper. I’ve previously been an academic researcher in economics (game theory and industrial organisation), mathematics (combinatorics and graph theory) and computer science (blockchain and data provenance). My Erdős number is 3.
