Hi, I’m Tom. I build apps and write about how they’re made.
By day I’m a Staff Full Stack Engineer at Deque Systems. On the side I make small apps, like Seaglass and Back & Forth.
Now building
Seaglass
A calm, private sober day counter for iOS and Android. See how long you’ve been free of smoking, drinking or anything else, and the money you’ve kept, and collect a piece of sea glass for every milestone. No account, and everything stays on your phone.

Back & Forth
A shared journal for parents and kids who live apart. One writes about their day, their feelings or a piece of their life story, and the other reads it and writes back.

Keystone Codex
A field manual for melee DPS in World of Warcraft: Mythic+ and raid strategies for Ret Paladin and Death Knight, with animated positioning diagrams for every boss. Private, behind sign-in.
