His work ethic and attitude made him an integral part of the team. We relied heavily on Tom not only for his technical skills, but as a thought leader and trusted client partner. His insight and leadership were highly valued and brought a perspective to the project that was unique and client focused.

He exhibits an extreme hunger with learning new things and feeds his curiosity often; this is very well reflected in his ability to pick up new technologies quickly and with ease. For an engineer he is unnaturally articulate, I like to think his theater background has something to do with this. He is a pleasure to work with and a great asset to any team.", and "When I ask about their ambitions, the engineers on my team often say the same thing: "I want to be like Tom." As a developer, a mentor, and a human being, Tom is inspiring to work with. In the projects he leads, even under tight deadlines, Tom has an unrivaled work ethic and hunger for knowledge that allow him to seek out, understand, and innovate with new technologies quickly. At Classy, even as we've evolved our stack, he's set the foundation for countless core areas of our product, and has built tools while doing so that are later reused by other teams and services. And as strong as he is as an engineer, where Tom really thrives is as a member of a team. His mentorship for the engineers around him and his partnership with leaders across different departments both shine because of the fact that Tom is a truly positive, kind, and empathetic person — someone who is approachable and genuinely invested in helping the people around him succeed."
