Software Engineer

Hi, I'm Thomas

I have been most at home in front of a computer for as long as I can remember. That early interest led me through a series of high school computer classes—from Game Design and Web Design to Java and Robotics—and eventually to Cal Poly Pomona, where I earned my degree in Computer Science.

I build software that I personally want to use or that my friends and family are looking for. My most notable project is the "Cobblemon Breeding" mod, which has reached over 200,000 downloads. To build it, I had to dive into the deep end of the modding community—reading through the Kotlin source code of the official Cobblemon API and manually refactoring complex file structures to ship a core feature the community was missing.

I am a "hardcore" user who is most at home at my desk. Whether I am navigating complex file structures in WSL Ubuntu or troubleshooting hardware, I am at my best when I have a specific problem to solve. I am currently looking for an entry-level Software Engineering role, ideally in a remote-first environment, though I am open to local opportunities or relocating for the right challenge.
