Summary
Tom Bellingham is a co-founder and software engineer with 11 years’ experience building end-to-end systems that span physics engines, real-time multiplayer networking, high-performance distributed services, robotics navigation, and healthcare data pipelines. He combines a user-centred, interdisciplinary design mindset with hands-on expertise in Go microservices, TypeScript/React front-ends, gRPC/Protobuf, Kafka, Kubernetes and Postgres to ship production-grade platforms. At Thought Machine he delivered cross-cloud cost observability, internal productivity apps and a docs-as-code API platform; earlier roles include deterministic multiplayer work at Media Molecule and mobile product engineering for Colourmart. He enjoys finding shared structure across disparate problem domains and turning “wild ideas” into working systems, often designing inventive synchronization and observability solutions. Based in the UK with an MEng from Imperial College London, he also moonlights as an aspiring educator and occasional wannabe rapper, bringing curiosity and clear communication to technical leadership.
