At Microsoft he helped integrate Mesh with Teams and built real-time presence and WebRTC voice features, and at Highspot he resolved a long-standing UX pain by rebuilding a critical date-picker used company-wide. Thomas combines hands-on full-stack chops (TypeScript, React, C#, Unity) with a research-minded background in VR/eye-tracking, and he mentors engineers while influencing hiring and front-end workflows.
