Hi, I'm Tom!

Based out of Cape Town, I'm a full-stack developer & cinematographer who has a love for being a part of creating meaningful work!

On shoots, I pride myself in being a valuable member of the team with my ever-expanding technical knowledge of how lighting, composition and movement serve the story.

As dev, I'm super passionate about building helpful applications. I'm a skilled JavaScript developer currently building with React, Next, Tailwind and GraphQL. Take a look at my GitHub.
