Top SchoolThomas Hawtin is a Senior Developer with 7+ years of professional experience and deep Java expertise honed across product engineering and platform security roles.

Comfortable in both product and government environments, he now contributes to shared applications at the UK Home Office while designing and implementing his own programming language in spare time. Thomas pairs rigorous code review and secure-design experience with practical performance and reliability improvements delivered earlier in his career across web content, telecoms, and enterprise products.
