Available for freelance and software engineering opportunities

I build useful software for real-world problems.

I’m Thomas. After six years in automotive finance, I changed careers to build software, pursuing my passion for turning operational problems into clear, maintainable products and processes, with projects from commercial credit analysis to game-system automation.

About me

From financing decisions to engineering better systems.

My path into software started on the business side. Six years in automotive finance taught me how to evaluate risk, earn trust, explain complicated decisions, and keep work moving when the stakes were real.

That experience also showed me how much better the work could be when the software truly fit the people and process. I followed that curiosity into computer science and found the work I wanted to keep doing: designing systems, solving technical problems, and turning an idea into something useful.

While working full time in automotive finance, I earned my B.S. in Computer Science from Southern New Hampshire University in 2025, with an emphasis on software engineering and secure coding. Today I bring both sides of that career to full-stack development—business context from finance and the engineering depth to build the solution.

Foundation

Automotive finance

Six years working with risk, revenue, customers, and high-pressure operational decisions.

The pivot

Computer science

A 2025 degree grounded the transition in algorithms, secure coding, systems, and software design.

Now

Software engineering

Full-stack products, APIs, automation, and domain-heavy tools shaped by real business context.

Product engineering

From problem framing and interface design through APIs, persistence, testing, and deployment.

Domain translation

Turning business rules and stakeholder needs into software people can understand and use.

Secure foundations

Defensive input handling, responsible data practices, clear boundaries, and maintainable code.

Earlier work
