Hi, I'm Tom, a software engineer specializing in API design & development.
I have extensive experience in tech lead & project management roles, with a career that spans speech recognition, networking infrastructure, and web & mobile development.
I have developed one of the world's leading API frameworks, managing a project that now has over 1,000 individual contributors. My open-source software is used by internationally recognized companies including Mozilla, Red Hat, Eventbrite, Heroku, and many more…
I live in Brighton, and am currently working on building a sustainable business model for collaboratively funded open-source developement, through my company, Encode.
Alongside my open-source work, I also have some availability for software development & design on a consultancy basis. If you would like to discuss working together, please get in touch.
