Summary
Tom King is a founder-CTO and seasoned web developer with 14 years of experience building SaaS and bespoke web systems from Oxford. He co-founded and leads Kinvault, creating a privacy-focused platform that digitises estate and life-event workflows to help banks support bereaved clients, retain assets, and meet regulatory duties. Tom combines hands-on engineering (CFML, CraftCMS, VueJS and API design) with product and sales leadership, having previously run OxAlto Design and steered Kinherit’s technical and data-protection strategy. His background in university web teams and open-source work on the CFWheels core shows a long-standing commitment to developer communities and pragmatic, resilient systems. Unusually for a CTO, his MA in Music and early AV/webcasting experience inform a user-centred, empathetic approach to building solutions for emotionally charged life events.
