Hey, I’m Tom! Product Leader & Engineer.

It was a wild weekend for the inaugural Rockford 70.3 and wanted to capture all the details I could remember. It was a tough race but I learned a lot and enjoyed it.

I was inspired to have a look back at things in reading some blog posts by the Railway team and realized that I've always been a remote worker.

New Year, New Job. Time to hit the ground running again. The main post for this is on the Shorebird Blog and LinkedIn but wanted to capture it here as well for historical purposes.

Just love to see this

“The situation is rich with irony. After all, it was OpenAI that made huge leaps with its GPT model by sucking down the entirety of the written web without consent.”

Well, well, well. How the turntables

Time for a fresh coat of paint and some updates across the board.

Just nails exactly what I have been thinking with my iPhone 16 Pro. The button is essentially just a shortcut button. I’ve reverted back to the shutter on the touchscreen given the goofy interactions with the swiping.

Disappointed to be leaving but looking forward to a new challenge which I'm still searching for.

I just can't seem to help myself 🤦‍♂️ Another little side project to help out the curling club and our electronic scoreboards.

It's been six years since I had to write a post like this. Truthfully, at least for me, it's never easy. Unfortunately BMW has made the decision to shut down the Chicago Technology Office. I'm not going to beat around the bush here, this really sucks.

While normally a x.x.2 release may not be worthy of a post I feel like this one is as it definitely took some work on my end. I had a goal to start to remove complexity from my code base and this was my first stab at it.
