Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTom Overton is a senior software engineer based in Seattle with over a decade of experience building mobile and web products, from multiple React Native apps to large-scale C# authentication services used by billions. He specializes in pragmatic architecture and performance work—rewriting request routers to cut Azure costs by tens of thousands per month and parallelizing test suites to shrink runtimes dramatically. Tom has led cross-team initiatives around security, SSO, feature flags, and server-driven UI that reduced developer friction and sped feature rollouts. His portfolio blends product-facing work (responsive investment charts, achievement systems, messaging centers) with low-level curiosity: active contributions to high-profile game decompilation projects like Majora’s Mask and Ocarina of Time reveal deep reverse-engineering skills. A UW CS graduate with a strong GPA, he pairs measurable impact in production systems with a knack for creative side projects that improve accessibility and user experience.
