Summary
Robert Thomas is a contract Senior Software Engineer with eight years of professional experience building end-to-end systems across desktop, cloud, and mobile platforms. He specializes in C# while fluently working with Go, Python, and JavaScript, and he continually experiments with new languages (currently studying Zig). Robert has led teams and architected cloud-native deployments using Azure, AWS, Kubernetes, and Service Fabric, and he builds CI/CD pipelines and deterministic testing workflows for reliable delivery. He founded The Whimsy and Wizardry Limited Company, publishes open-source projects (including his own desktop framework Galdr), and has shipped consumer-facing desktop apps and game mods that reached large audiences and earned press coverage. Comfortable across Windows and Linux hosts and hypervisors like Proxmox, he pairs hands-on implementation with a pragmatic willingness to learn unfamiliar stacks. Based in Missouri, he combines a broad systems perspective with a maker’s instinct—often creating tooling and frameworks to solve recurring problems rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions.
