Hi, I'm Tommy

I spend a lot of time thinking about programming and what it means to create value with software.

It started with a programming class I took in 2015 during my sophomore year of high school. We learned how to write some Python and JavaScript, and it was one of the few classes I felt better than average at (although definitely not the best). Since then I’ve never really stopped programming.

Since 2022, I finished a degree in computer science from Drexel University and started writing software professionally. I learned a lot. I learned most about how hard it is to write decent software, and how it’s even harder to teach people to write decent software. I’m slowly improving at both.

The world needs more kind and beautiful things. I want to make that happen, but I’m only just starting to figure out how.

There’s more that I want to say, but I guess that’s quite a lot for an introduction.

Don’t be a stranger,

TN
