Crafting thoughtful, interactive experiences that feel alive
Hi, I'm Tom
I'm a creative developer and product engineer who builds interactive, story-driven web experiences. I operate at the intersection of design, code, and a little bit of magic, turning abstract ideas into polished products people genuinely love using.
My foundation was built in pharma and medcom, working alongside top agencies on regulated projects where compliance and precision were non-negotiable. That background taught me to engineer software that truly holds up under scrutiny, strict standards, and demanding performance requirements.
As a frontend specialist, I’m obsessed with the details that make an interface feel alive: the subtle micro-animations, the fluid transitions, and the edge cases that only reveal themselves when someone is paying close attention. Lately, I’ve expanded into product engineering by scoping problems, designing solutions, and building end-to-end, AI-powered tools that solve real daily friction.
When I’m away from the keyboard, you’ll usually find me outdoors, somewhere along a trail, sitting by a fire or snowboarding.

It's Just Lunch

Apps & Experiments
Grace of the Day
A minimalist, single-screen site delivering daily Catholic reflections aligned with the liturgical calendar. Each day’s scripture, reflection, and prayer are generated once via the Google Gemini API upon the first daily visit, then cached in Supabase. All subsequent visitors receive the same entry instantly without additional API calls. Built-in fallback scriptures ensure uninterrupted service.
Living Heart Atlas
A beating 3D heart built with Vue and three.js, with a live ECG monitor in sync. Selecting any of its 11 structures flies the camera in and opens a card explaining what it does, with key clinical figures. A compare mode switches the heart into atrial fibrillation, anterior heart attack or left ventricular hypertrophy, changing the rhythm, the ECG and the affected tissue on the model. A quiz then shows an ECG strip and asks which structure is behind it.
