About Me

Hi, my name is Thomas Wade ๐Ÿ‘‹!


Iโ€™m a software engineer, whoโ€™s 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 Iโ€™m not developing, however, you can catch me traveling โœˆ๏ธ, snowboarding ๐Ÿ‚, creating art ๐ŸŽจ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ, or playing games ๐ŸŽฎ.

โ€œFirst, solve the problem. Then write the code.โ€
- John Johnson
