Tom H is a Graduate Software Developer and Computer Science BSc (Hons) from the University of St Andrews with nine years of practical experience building high-performance microservices, primarily in Rust. At Fifth Row Technologies he develops core components for a high-volume cryptocurrency exchange, focusing on low-latency APIs, blockchain integrations, and performance-critical services. He also has hands-on experience with Java and TypeScript and applies industry practices such as Agile, TDD, Docker, and cloud deployments. Past internships include building an Angular mobile MVP for equipment maintenance and designing a production-ready database and web interface for a university arts centre. Comfortable across backend, API design, and blockchain tooling, he blends academic rigor with production-first engineering for demanding financial systems. An early adopter of Rust in production, he brings a practical focus on safety and throughput that’s unusual for someone at his career stage.
