Tom Holder

About Tom

He is a Software Engineer from Brighton, UK.

In 2010, he obtained a Mathematics BSc from Bristol University and in 2013 a Computer Science MSc from University College London (UCL).

He lived and worked in London for 6 years before moving to New York in 2017, where he currently lives.

He prefers working on old, legacy code that is business critical. He is adept at implementing testing strategies that enable the transformation of tech-debt heavy applications into modern, streamlined systems.

He is technology agnostic and has no qualms about working on anything. He can be relied upon to always do the needful and considers no task beneath him.

He has managed multiple two-pizza teams and tends to lead by example - doing a lot of the nasty work that enables others to increase their velocity.
