Tom is the Head of Developer Experience at <Convex />, which means he's the one to blame if your support tickets take longer than 5 minutes to get a response. He also spends a lot of time thinking about code, product building, design, and the modern developer's day-to-day experience.
His free time is spent reading programming books (no joke), and playing covers of 90s pop songs on his guitar while singing extremely loudly and beautifully.
