Summary
Tom Smith is a senior application engineer in Los Angeles with two decades of hands-on web development experience and a decade in professional roles building production LAMP-based systems. He has a track record of turning legacy sites into revenue-generating commerce platforms—most notably designing a bespoke CMS and ERP-integrated storefront that generated millions in sales at Mitsubishi Chemical. A pragmatic full-stack developer comfortable with PHP, MySQL, Linux, Apache/nginx, and modern front-end tooling, he’s also launched and led a social-startup (Ozoshare) where he built the service, API, and scaling architecture on AWS. Tom pairs deep operational experience with a curiosity for internet plumbing; he’s been shipping web apps since before git and still enjoys optimizing databases, caching, and deployment for reliability at scale.
