Summary
Thomas Kliethermes is a seasoned software engineer with over a decade of experience building and maintaining large-scale internal systems and Android-focused open-source projects. He has led design and implementation of mission-critical tools at IBM—authoring a widely used XWiki-based knowledge platform and a multi-million-record Wellspring search repository that integrated many legacy data sources. Comfortable across the stack, Thomas combines Java server-side expertise, ETL and search integration, and client-side interfaces, plus system administration and automation. Now working as an independent open-source developer and stay-at-home parent in Kansas, he’s gradually returning to OSS contributions after a hiatus, bringing pragmatic production experience and a knack for rescuing complex, brittle systems.
