Who I Am

Portrait of Tom

I'm a software and product engineer who loves turning complex ideas into systems people can actually use. Over the past two decades I've helped build products at organizations ranging from startups to Google, Facebook, and KPMG. I've led teams, modernized legacy systems, designed large-scale user experiences, and worked across web, mobile, and backend platforms.

What motivates me most isn't the technology itself. It's helping people solve problems. Whether I'm mentoring engineers, organizing communities, improving accessibility, or building products for millions of users, I'm at my best when I can connect people, ideas, and technology.
