Thomas Wilson

I am a software engineer who loves the craft of building quality software, the messy-ness of working with people, and the balance between minimal and complete products. I build good things with good people for good companies.

My work

{#if isWorkExpanded}
  • Right now I am a Senior Software Engineer at Laka. We're building web tools to unfuck insurance
  • I spent three years building and leading the Software Engienering team atOxwash, where we built tools for the sustainable and scalable future of laundry.
  • I build full-stack software for the web, especially with TypeScript, Node, Svelte, and React.
  • I like domain driven design, and agile (with a little 'a') opinions about delivery and collaboration.
  • I've previously built software with data privacy, ed-tech, and sustainability companies.
  • I have a Ph.D. in education technology, where I looked at how we can use tech in the teaching lab to promote and evidence understanding.
  • I have only ever worked with companies actively solving environment and societal problems.
{:else}

I build software that makes complicated things more human-friendly, and lead teams to do the same.
