Creative Technologist

Software Engineer | Experience Developer | Audio Person

Hi, I'm Tom!

I've been creating engaging applications for over five years, driven by a love of using technology to craft experiences that enhance people's lives.

My career has spanned a variety of industries - audio equipment, spatial interactions, web development, and robotics. Paired with a background in audio tech from my Music and Sound Recording (Tonmeister) degree, I've gained a unique perspective on how people engage with technology which helps me craft meaningful and practical experiences.

Currently, I'm combining my passions for video games, music, and software to dive into game development, graphics, and audio programming.
