Full-stack staff engineering
Angular, Vue, Node, APIs, databases, mobile-responsive products, and the infrastructure around them — from discovery through launch and iteration.
Staff engineer · UX · product scaling
I help companies in Europe and the United States ship products that scale — with engineering craft, not shortcuts.
Full-stack staff engineer with 17+ years of experience. I combine deep technical execution with user experience design and product thinking. I use AI as a force multiplier in my workflow — but I am an engineer by craft: architecture, design systems, accessibility, and outcomes that hold up in production.
What I bring
UX & product strategy
Workflow optimization, design systems, accessibility, and aligning technical decisions with business goals and user outcomes — not vanity metrics.
Scaling & leadership
Architecture, CI/CD, engineering standards, mentoring, and cross-functional collaboration with founders, designers, and stakeholders.
How I think about UX
I recently rebuilt a tech trainings site in three days — with deliberate UX decisions at every step. Read the case study to see how I approach information architecture, conversion, and polish under time pressure.

Recommendations
“Tom is very thoughtful and hard working, with a great eye for UX interactions. Always easy to work with, both contributing meaningful ideas to the discussion and addressing the known problems with cohesive solutions. It was really a pleasure working with him. Any team would be lucky to have him.”
“I've worked alongside Tom in building Croissant for enterprise distributed teams, and he's the kind of engineer you build a company around. He led our VAT compliance work, built out our Team Collaboration tooling, and was central to launching Private Offices. He reduced our mobile development cycle and owned the product end-to-end. What sets him apart is judgment — comfortable owning a compliance problem or shipping customer-facing product. He takes ownership without being asked and raises the bar for everyone around him.”
“Tom made significant contributions to the merchant-facing website rebranding, demonstrating exceptional skills by delivering impactful work early on. His ability to navigate projects with many unknowns while consistently providing value has been instrumental in the project's success. I highly recommend him for any future opportunities.”
“Tom is an invaluable teammate with deep expertise in web technologies and accessibility. His knowledge ensures that our projects are not only functional and innovative, but also inclusive and user-friendly.”
