Summary
Tom Shea is a front-end software engineer with 13 years of experience building and troubleshooting web apps, currently contributing to Valve’s engineering efforts. He brings deep JavaScript expertise, a nuanced understanding of browser compatibility and CSS quirks, and a track record of shipping polished UIs from roles at Microsoft and Verve. Comfortable moving between hands-on pixel work and larger R&D initiatives, he combines pragmatic problem-solving with attention to visual detail (hence the “pixel pusher” moniker). Trained in Artificial Life and Robotics, he applies systems thinking to front-end problems and enjoys untangling subtle cross-browser edge cases. Based in Renton, WA, Tom is as comfortable mentoring teams as he is diving into low-level DOM/CSS fixes that save projects time and rework.
