About Me
Programmer, Tech Consultant, and Web Designer
For a long time I really didn’t know what I wanted to do with my career. I graduated in 2015 with a BA in political science and history, then moved to Japan where I lived and worked as an instructor for three years. It was in Japan where I found my passion for tech and started learning to code.
Upon my return to Maine in 2018, I returned to college and pursued further study in computer science, cyber security, and information technology. I also began work as a lobbyist and moved into a role as a digital content manager.
In mid 2020, an opportunity presented itself and I decided to start my own business: Tom’s Water Solutions LLC. I now work as a tech consultant helping municipalities with technical needs and offering training to operators state-wide. I also build websites and code useful tools and technologies for my clients.

My Skills
Want to learn a bit more about how I work? Look no further!
Programming
With an education in computer science, I have strong skills in software development and programming, specifically in the Java and JavaScript languages. I am skilled in Object-Oriented Design and other solutions
Web Design
Complementing my programming abilities is my passion for design and my experience building and managing websites for clients from multiple industries. Similarly, I have worked on other web-based projects and apps.
Cyber Security
Cyber Security was where I really began my tech career. Beginning as a digital content manager, where it was my duty to train staff and stakeholders in security, as well as manage the security of our tools and resources - completing many risk assessments and emergency plans.
Entrepreneur
My first degree was in political science and history, which I later made use of as a lobbyist. Although I have turned my eyes to a more technical career path, these experiences taught me how to think and have aided me in founding my own successful companies and ventures.
My Recent Projects
Although I am skilled in WordPress and other tools, nothing beats designing and building a website by hand with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and more. It truly offers flexibility and control in achieving the exact results desired.
My skills and coding abilities serve me well, not only for design, but also continuous management and improvement of my projects. Sometimes cyber security comes into the fray and I work to keep my clients secure.
Recently, I have focused on websites for businesses, nonprofits, and individuals; however, I am also currently working on other web-based solutions, specifically apps that will improve the efficiency of workers here in Maine!
