Tom Scholtes

Software engineer · builder of small useful things

About

Generalist software engineer with a soft spot for tools that make other engineers faster. I like small surfaces, sharp defaults, and code that reads like prose.

Currently exploring agentic workflows, developer experience, and the gap between "it compiles" and "it ships."
