Tom Fox
3rd-Year BSc Computing
Hi, I'm Tom! I'm originally from Cambridge and currently studying Computer Science at university.
My coding journey started with Python, where I built Discord bots for myself and communities and experimented with databases like MongoDB and PostgreSQL. From there, I spent a lot of time with Java - exploring data management, working with cache solutions like Redis, and even creating game plugins.
Later, I moved into PHP and MySQL, building addons for open-source software and selling premium modules. That eventually led me into modern web and software development, where I now focus on building applications with React, Node.js, Tailwind CSS, and going full-stack with Next.js.
Along the way, I’ve always been exploring different hosting providers for my projects - from AWS and Oracle’s generous free tier to Hetzner and Vercel - and spun up control panels like Pterodactyl, Cloudpanel, and Coolify.
Today, I love creating modern web solutions and always experimenting with new technologies, packages or techniques. But most importantly: building epic projects.
Technologies and tools I use to build and ship projects.
