Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Toye is a Senior API Engineer with 12 years of full-stack experience, currently building API-first products at Photoroom after a multi-year tenure at DoubleVerify.

A pragmatic problem-solver and former student entrepreneur, he has shipped SaaS used by multiple cities and driven performance and storage migrations early in his career. He pairs technical depth with non-technical strengths in leadership, public speaking and strategy—having chaired regional planning and finance for a youth organization.

Known on GitHub as a self-styled "Data Dadaist," he brings curiosity and a data-minded creativity to API and systems design.
