Vision, built, and filed.

I invent, prototype, and protect. This is a working record of what I'm building — a published app, applications in progress, and the thinking behind them.

About

I'm Thomas J. Gallo — an inventor who likes taking an idea all the way from a sketch to something protectable and real.

Most of my work happens in the space between a problem and a filing: figuring out what's genuinely novel, prototyping until it holds up, and doing the unglamorous paperwork that turns an idea into intellectual property.

Systems, architecture, design — life is what you create.
APPROACH
Prototype first, patent what survives.
STANDARD
Novelty over noise.
DRIVEN BY
Faith over luck.
STATUS
Open to the right conversations.
Let's build something worth protecting.

Collaborations, licensing, or just a good idea — the door's open.
