GavinO'Mara

Mechanical engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology building software products and practical systems. I ship useful tools, iterate quickly, and solve real problems end to end.

About

Cross-disciplinary engineer, product-first operator.

I'm a mechanical engineering student at Stevens Institute of Technology and a member of Launchpad—Stevens' selective entrepreneurship program. I combine engineering rigor with product-building: from full-stack work at Quanxiom to co-founding Fixify, a property-maintenance platform that I've pitched to 150+ investors at Plug and Play and competed in — and won — two pitch competitions for pre-seed funds.

Before that I spent time in verification & validation at Defibtech (automating test fixtures, C++, SolidWorks, 3D printing) and in quality and process improvement at Microboard. Outside of tech I was captain of varsity lacrosse, US Lacrosse Academic All-American, and involved in multiple honor societies.

What I'm building

Property management, automated.

Fixify runs every repair end-to-end — from tenant text to dispatched vendor to paid invoice — so property managers get their afternoons back.

Fixify

Co-Founder · Oct 2024 – Present

Two products on one stack: Fixify Core, the desktop cockpit for property managers (Next.js + Supabase, with QuickBooks sync, Stripe, DocuSign, and ElevenLabs voice agents), and Fixify Go, an Expo app that lets tenants report repairs via SMS link — no login, no download.

Fixify manager dashboard
01

AI voice dispatch

Calls vendors in priority order, reads the job, captures a quote, brings it back for one-click approval — full transcript attached.

02

Tenant intake, no download

Text link, snap a photo, pick a time. SMS updates flow automatically from first ring to final fix.

03

Vendor ranking

Tracks response time, quote accuracy, and completion rate. The best performers win more work, automatically.

04

QuickBooks sync

Invoices reconcile automatically with line items intact — no manual re-entry, no month-end cleanup.

Gainzzz

Gainzzz started as a simple fitness tracking tool I built for myself, driven by a nerdy obsession with optimization and a desire to focus on real progress. It grew beyond a personal project and launched publicly so others could train with the same clean, results-driven system.
