Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolTom Pritchard is a senior engineer with 11 years of experience building products and teams that blend AI, practical engineering, and merchant-focused outcomes. Currently at Shopify, he designs AI agents that help merchants solve real business problems, drawing on prior founder and CTO experience building a procurement platform for orthodontic practices. He co-founded and sold Tandem Labs, where his mobile-first product achieved 97% voluntary student uptake and earned a national teaching excellence award. As a consultant he has driven rapid technical turnarounds—taking a legacy Rails codebase from 0% to 83% test coverage in six weeks and delivering features that unlocked substantial enterprise ARR. He leans on cutting-edge tooling like Claude Code to multiply output while keeping teams lean, and he pairs hands-on engineering with product intuition from roles across design, startup, and advisory contexts. Based in Indianapolis, Tom combines entrepreneurial grit with a CS degree (First Class) and a knack for turning complex workflows into pragmatic, revenue-driving systems.
