Thomas Lombardi
Software Engineer
I'm a full-stack developer with a strong passion for frontend engineering
and user experience. I specialize in building fast, responsive web
applications with sharp, accessible designs that engage and delight users.
I architect scalable and modular interfaces, implement reusable UI
components, and integrate monitoring to enable faster iteration. I care
deeply about performance, code quality, and maintainability, and
consistently advocate for best practices in testing, accessibility, and
observability.
