Hi, I'm Tom Schafer. I'm a software engineer who enjoys building performant systems.
Professionally I have experience across the stack working with Go, Python, Kubernetes and Terraform amongst other technologies.
In my spare time I like building stuff in Haskell and Rust. I'm currently building an open-source terminal application called Scooter.
When I'm not coding you'll most likely find me cycling or reading: a few of my favourite books are Doing Good Better by William MacAskill, Life 3.0 by Max Tegmark and The Blind Watchmaker by Richard Dawkins.
