Thomas – SQL, Workflow Automation, Webhooks
Senior AI Engineer and former CTO with 10+ years of experience taking products from zero to one. Thomas designs and ships AI-native products end-to-end: RAG systems for document-heavy and regulated domains, LLM orchestration, agentic integrations (MCP, ACP), and workflow automation, on a TypeScript/Node.js, React, and Python stack with a strong blockchain/Solidity background. As a founding engineer and CTO in proptech, fintech, and digital art, he has led teams of up to 12 engineers, run SOC 2 and HIPAA programs, and worked directly with stakeholders from scoping to delivery.
Main highlights:
- Led tech for digital art launches with SpaceX and NASA, totalling $10M+ in derivative revenue and $1M+ raised for cancer research
- Grew from founding engineer to CTO at a proptech startup that raised $8M, leading up to 12 engineers
- Built an agentic commerce platform where AI shopping agents can configure and buy made-to-order products via MCP and ACP

Founder and CTO
A US/Canada-first e-commerce brand selling premium made-to-order map pendants for gifting. Off-the-shelf commerce systems couldn't handle the custom configuration and pricing, and ad platforms were reporting more conversions than real paid orders. Thomas built the whole platform from scratch in TypeScript: a real-time 3D product configurator, pricing engine, checkout, order pipeline and lifecycle emails. He also added an agentic commerce layer (headless API, ACP endpoint and MCP server) so AI shopping agents can configure and buy a made-to-order product on their own, and rebuilt server-side event delivery with deduplication so ad conversions match settled Stripe orders. [add result: sales / conversion numbers, share of orders via AI agents?]
- Wrote the full platform in TypeScript, from configurator and pricing engine to checkout, order pipeline and lifecycle mail, with no off-the-shelf commerce system.
- Built the agentic commerce layer, including a headless API, ACP endpoint, and MCP server, so AI shopping agents could configure and buy a made-to-order product.
- Owned the technology budget and commercial results together, measuring infrastructure and AI spend decisions against revenue.
- Built a real-time 3D product configurator for map-based pendant previews.
- Rebuilt server-side event delivery with deduplication after reconciling reported ad conversions against settled Stripe orders.
Head of Blockchain and Co-founder
A blockchain-based platform for multi-party real estate co-ownership, where several classes of owners share and govern a property. Thomas owned the architecture and tokenomics: he designed permissioning across owner classes and the governance mechanics, then developed and deployed the ERC-1155 smart contracts underneath, which ran live during a high-stakes investor pitch. He also helped fine-tune the business model, governance structure and investor toolkit through to stakeholder onboarding. [add result: number of owners / properties / funds onboarded?]

Chief Technology Officer
A digital art studio running seven- and eight-figure launches with SpaceX, NASA and top-selling digital artists, where every drop had a fixed launch window and extreme traffic spikes. As CTO, Thomas led all technology for these launches and built a repeatable launch playbook behind collaborations with 10+ blue-chip artists and curators. He also directed SOC 2 and HIPAA programmes to completion, which unlocked partnerships with major US hospitals. The launches generated over $10M in derivative revenue and raised over $1M for cancer research.
