About

A snapshot

Tom Dringer

I build software for the web. I've shipped production applications across fintech, developer tools, and e-commerce — working with early-stage startups and established teams. I care about type safety, performance budgets, and developer experience.

Outside of coding, I contribute to open source, write about what I learn, and tinker with side projects that explore new tools and ideas.
