Top SchoolThomas Friedrich is a Staff Software Engineer specializing in frontend systems with more than 15 years of experience building web and Eclipse-based UIs, REST APIs, and data tooling for cloud and big-data platforms. Based in San Jose, he has led small teams at companies like Slack, HPE, and IBM to modernize interfaces—migrating large products to React and design systems, and delivering rapid prototypes for cloud offerings such as HPE GreenLake.

Known for translating usability studies into shipped designs, he also has an unusual breadth spanning Eclipse plugin development to container-native UIs, making him effective across legacy enterprise stacks and modern cloud-native fronts.
