Hullo. I’m Tom, an Australian living in Portland OR, USA. I write all sorts of awesome software.

I’m currently involved in secret squirrel business on New Relic‘s New Projects Mobile Monitoring team.

I’m big on open source & have a stack of stuff on github. I’ve also made a couple of cool contributions to some popular open source projects.: my little claim to fame is implementing the try/except/finally syntax in Python 2.5. I’ve also contributed (admittedly less sexy) stuff to node, Rails, PostgreSQL & Mozilla Electrolysis.

When I can build up the nerve, I speak at conferences like OSCON and the OSDC. My presentations tend to focus on compilers & language design, though I’m probably best described as a compiler geek wannabe.

You can find the gritty details in my resume. Alternatively, get in touch!
