About Me
Hi, my name is Thomas Wade ๐!
Iโm a software engineer, whoโs passionate about globally transforming lives through user-centric solutions to real-world problems.
I specialize in Full-stack Web/Desktop Application Development and Machine Learning.
When Iโm not developing, however, you can catch me traveling โ๏ธ, snowboarding ๐, creating art ๐จ๐๏ธ, or playing games ๐ฎ.
โFirst, solve the problem. Then write the code.โ
