Alec Thomas

alecthomas
Sydney, Australia

I'm a software developer living in Sydney, Australia. I learnt to love programming on the C64 and continued on early PCs, writing assembler demos and games. Good times. Now I earn a living working for Square and spend my spare time building software I find useful, that hopefully others do too.

I very much appreciate the contribution, thank you.

To return the favour I will give an hour of consultation over video. I have significant experience in Go, distributed systems, protobufs, gRPC, build systems, C++ (a few years out of date), Python (a few years out of date), old school graphics programming, and a good software design aesthetic (IMO :)).
