Tom Boone is an API Engineer with two decades of web application experience and over a decade of professional Python development, specializing in scalable backend systems, ETL pipelines, and cloud-native infrastructure. He has a strong track record designing microservices and RESTful APIs across domains from blockchain/Web3 to legal tech and library systems, and has led migrations from monoliths to distributed architectures. Tom combines hands-on engineering—building serverless ETL for Solana, FastAPI microservices, and ML-driven recommendation engines—with DevOps practices like Terraform and GitHub Actions to deliver production-ready systems. He’s comfortable translating complex business rules into normalized data models and performant databases, having designed pipelines ingesting 80,000+ TV show records and FEC disclosure data for political analytics. With a background that spans law librarianship and a JD/MLS education, he brings a rare mix of domain empathy, product-focused thinking, and technical depth to cross-functional teams.
