Hi! I'm Tommy, and I lead Engineering Teams. Currently I'm leading Engineering at Crystal Knows, but I've also led teams at Treehouse, GitLab, Auth0, and Marqeta. I've been programming computers since I figured out I could make changes to GORILLA.BAS on my dad's PC. Professionally, I've been doing software development for 16 years and leading teams for 10 (and 14 of those years have been working remotely from home!). I consider myself to be a people-first technical leader: while I have great technical experience, most of the value that I bring to an organization is in how I deal with people and processes.
