My name is Tom, you may know me better as tomWritesCode on Twitter and GitHub. I love front end development and collaborating to make an accessible and delightful experience for users.
When I am not in front of a keyboard I am often found with a camera in my hand or making coffee. You can see some of my photo work over on InsideFramelines.
A large part of my role as a front end developer has been working to deliver high quality product to thousands of users as well as helping teams build and maintain design systems.
I have worked as part of the launch team for Keystatic the newest Git based CMS from Thinkmill.
As part of the Javascript community in Sydney I have started recording and editing the talks from React Sydney. I am also a regular at SydCSS.
I am still making notes and adding to this site currently but if you would like to chat feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or LinkedIn.
I have been working across several different medium's. Take a look at the variety of content I have been producing.

Medium has a feature that lets readers share selected article text straight to Twitter — without having to copy, paste and edit. It’s a cool way to support sharing without drawing the user too far away from their reading experience. But, that same nifty sharing feature isn’t available for all the great content on the internet.

Unit tests can be hard to wrap your head around when you first start writing them, I know I found it tough. Once I understood the concept of 'what', 'why' and 'how' of starting to write unit tests everything just flowed from there.
