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.

  • WorldGameMaker is a tool that I first created to allow our team at reed.be to build levels for a game we were developing for Sony Ericsson. The game was SoundQuest. I had the feeling the flash editor was not gonna be enough to do what we needed to do. On top of that, we wanted to use the new Stage3D technology (basically having access to the graphic card shaders).
    I needed an IDE that would allow me to create all sorts of animated things as well as having a basic physics system. First I tried building my own. It worked for some very small projects but I eventually switched to Nape, a professional and open source physics engine.
  • Development of an entire IDE that leverages the functionnality and power of my Stage3D + ActionScript 3 engine: ND2Dx
  • Component System
  • Dynamic Loading of Action Script Code into the IDE
  • Dynamic properties editor
  • Customizable
  • Run and Debug game inside IDE
  • Publish game to multiple platforms using AIR
  • Allows the creation of mobile and desktop Apps & Games
  • Almost complete UI system
  • Constantly evolving
  • I create most of my games and apps with it
