thomaschatting.dev Software Developer North Yorkshire, UK
Hello, I'm Tom. This is my website.
I'm a software developer. I build full-stack .NET for the UK public sector, and small, private apps for iPhone and Apple Watch in the evenings.
Mostly CRUD with sprinkles, and loving it.
Departures
- Writing 61 posts 17 years of notes, rants and TILs. The ones that survived the cull.
- Apps Free & private Three small iOS and watchOS apps. No accounts, no analytics, no ads.
- Uses All Apple The hardware and software I actually reach for, updated when it changes.
- Feed RSS Subscribe the old way. No algorithm, no newsletter, no unsubscribe link.
About
I'm an ASP.NET developer working in the public sector in the United Kingdom. I build and maintain full-stack websites that let people do important stuff, which mostly means caring a great deal about forms, focus order and what happens when JavaScript doesn't load.
Outside of that I make small apps for iPhone and Apple Watch, sketch birds badly, and occasionally write about it here. I've been on the internet a long while, but I generally use it in read-only mode.
