Summary
Tom Dyer is a seasoned software engineer with roughly three decades of experience building web applications since 1995 and 17 years in senior/principal engineering roles. He specializes in Ruby/Rails, microservices, cloud-native deployments and asynchronous systems, having delivered fintech, health-tech and CRM solutions using Docker, RabbitMQ, PostgreSQL and AWS. A pragmatic advocate of Agile and values-driven teams, he pairs hands-on coding with mentoring and teaching—he organized the Boston Ruby Group and taught full-stack cohorts at General Assembly. Notably, he has a track record of rescuing critical systems quickly (fixing a staffing outage within two weeks) and applying functional Ruby patterns (dry-rb, ROM) to production services. Based in Chelmsford, MA, he blends deep legacy systems experience (C/C++, J2EE) with modern API and observability practices to ship reliable, user-focused software.
