About me

Picture of my head

I've been a full-time programmer for some time now, and in that time I've developed enough understanding of concepts like Places, Calendars, Names, People, Strings and Numbers that I try to avoid working with any of them. I currently write iOS apps for Dropbox in San Francisco, and in the past I've lived in London and Berlin. When I go home, I've been known to write web-based toys in Python, and iPhone apps. I've been known to dabble in JavaScript, particularly on the server-side, where I don't have to worry about browsers.

In the past I've worked for Facebook where I was team lead on the Messenger Visual Messaging team, Eventbrite where I was in charge of the Android then iOS teams, Dopplr [acquired], where I wrote server stuff in Ruby, Fotango [defunct], where I wrote in Perl, Nokia Berlin [still there, sort of], where I wrote in Java and went to meetings, and Lanyrd [acquired], where I wrote iPhone apps, did server-side Python stuff, and made tea.

The usual/best way to get hold of me is my email address, tom@movieos.org, and you can see my resume here. (I'm not looking for work. It's just there for reference.) I'm also on Mastodon, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. You know. The internet.
