Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Woolford is a Senior Software Engineer based in Adelaide with 15 years of hands-on experience building web, embedded and distributed systems. He blends front-end UI craftsmanship (HTML/SASS/CSS) and backend data work—optimising Postgres, ElasticSearch and high-throughput query paths—to deliver fast, user-focused products. His background spans embedded firmware for MSP/ARM/Atmel platforms and FPGA-based simulation, giving him rare cross-domain fluency between hardware, low-level firmware and cloud-hosted services. At past roles he has driven performance tuning that eliminated two-thirds of hot-page queries and led production-grade deployments and CI/CD practices across teams. Currently focused on simulation and domain-specific data-crunching frameworks, he brings a pragmatic, test-driven approach informed by earlier work in statistical defect analysis and automated ROM testing. Colleagues rely on him for elegant UI design plus the gritty infrastructure work that makes systems reliable at scale.
