Thomas John

Senior Software Developer

Freelancer Open to opportunities
Highly qualified software developer with over 20 years of professional experience. I began coding 27 years ago at the age of 16, creating chess games, FTP/HTTP/mail clients, and 3D animations that emulated the rain effect from The Matrix—earning me several online awards. In those early years and throughout the beginning of my career, I also developed various websites and promotional games in HTML, Flash, and other content management systems using PHP/MySQL.

Today, I specialize in building interactive applications, using whatever technologies are necessary to achieve the desired outcome (HTML, JavaScript, TypeScript, CSS, Vue, React, C#, Unity, Haxe, ActionScript, Canvas, OpenGL). I'm equally skilled in developing both microservices and monolithic backend systems in a variety of languages (C#, Node JavaScript, Deno TypeScript, PHP, SQL).

I adapt quickly to new technologies, whether they involve new languages, frameworks, or entire systems.
I excel at understanding new concepts, solving problems, identifying business and client needs, and maintaining a clear vision of how things work.

My ability to see the big picture—both from a business and technical perspective—allows me to challenge ideas in a practical and constructive manner, with a strong understanding of the needs and capabilities of the different actors involved.

I'm passionate about building products, whether it’s enabling customers to send digital certificates, create templates, draw on canvases, design interactive slideshows, optimize recruitment workflows with AI, or animate elements for highly interactive apps and video games. I approach system building and improvement with a clear and structured mindset, always eager to learn, driven by curiosity and creativity.
  • I have always been fascinated by movies ever since I saw Star Wars. I saw the making of it on video when I was probably 9 years old.
    Since then, I keep reading about it, I watch behind the scenes, send emails to directors whose films moved me (they answer sometimes :)) and write down ideas.
  • In 2005, I left with my backpack for two years and a half. I worked in farms and travelled for a year in Australia and then took a plane to Singapore, not really knowing where I was going. I didn't have a plan, nor a place to stay. From there, and during a year and a half, I made my way through Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar (Burma), China, Thibet, Nepal and India.
    Since then, I try to leave once or twice a year for just a couple of weeks.
    I like meeting new people, hearing their stories, telling them mines. Meeting people that generally travel alone is a very peculiar experience that nourishes me deeply.
  • I play piano since I'm little. Mostly self-educated, I like to play personal things. I compose from time to time, whether directly on my piano or via my computer. I was part of a small band several years ago. We went on radio.
    I also play guitar, a bit.
  • I need exercise even if I don't do as much as I want. I do yoga almost every day, alone and with a teacher. In my youth, I played basketball and football. I also did kung-fu for 6 years. I plan to rehabilitate them in the near future, step by step.
  • I draw what crosses my mind: game ideas, characters, project, all sorts of concepts but mainly oriented towards games and apps.
    I never really pushed that part of me as I did with programming or even maybe music but I think that this side of me brings a lot to everything I undertake.
