Thomas Camlong

Software Engineer

Founding-minded software engineer building AI products, developer tooling, and open-source software from zero to production. I enjoy owning products end-to-end, solving hard engineering problems, and working closely with users to build intuitive experiences that solve real problems. I use modern AI tooling to accelerate development while relying on strong engineering fundamentals to build reliable, maintainable systems.
