02 / ABOUT

About me

I’m Tom, a Computer Science student at the University of Bristol building performance-sensitive systems, algorithms and applied ML products.

My work moves between low-latency systems, graph algorithms, autonomous systems and production software on the cloud. I like problems where you can prove it works and measure how fast it runs, where the small implementation details genuinely matter. I'm also a big fan of hackathons.
