Summary
Tom Betthauser is a versatile software engineer and practicing visual artist with nine years of experience blending creative practice and full‑stack development across education, government, and arts organizations. Currently a Staff Consultant at Deloitte, he builds TypeScript-driven React database interfaces for public sector clients while drawing on a background as a full‑stack instructor at App Academy where he mentored new developers and maintained complex tooling across Python, JS, Docker, GraphQL and multiple databases. His career uniquely bridges MFA-trained visual art practice and technical teaching — he’s run artist residencies and gallery programs while also designing curriculum and enterprise software. Comfortable shipping both experimental personal projects (see his GitHub) and production systems, he thrives in collaborative, high‑pressure environments and often translates visual thinking into elegant UI and data solutions.
