Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Barham is a multidisciplinary engineer and lighting technician with a decade of experience building real-time media systems and live production environments. He spent several years as a software engineer on Clipchamp’s custom video playback and rendering engine, enabling timeline-heavy, browser-based editing and contributing vector math support to the LLVM-focused inkwell project. Now balancing senior lighting roles at QPAC and freelance design work, Tom blends low-latency graphics engineering with hands-on stagecraft to create immersive audio-visual experiences. A QUT graduate and NTNU exchange alumnus, he brings formal computer graphics training and an international outlook to both code and creative practice. His background in the demoscene signals a longstanding drive to push rendering limits and optimize performance under tight constraints. Colleagues describe him as a pragmatic problem-solver who enjoys making technically robust systems that are also a delight to use.

Contributions summary:Tom primarily contributed to the development of the `inkwell` library by adding new traits and functionality to support vector math operations within the LLVM environment. Their work involved defining traits like `IntMathValue` and `FloatMathValue`, and implementing these constraints within the `Builder` module. They also updated code to allow for vector support in pointer functions, expanding the capabilities of the library.
