Hi, I'm Tom
I'm a technologist, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner with over 25 years in software development. I founded Elegant Software Solutions in 2007, and we've been building enterprise software ever since.
Recently, I've rebuilt our entire development workflow around AI agents. We've shipped over 3 million lines of production code using agentic workflows. I believe AI should enhance human capabilities, not replace them — and I'm here to share what I've learned.
The Journey
I graduated from the University of Central Florida in 1999 with a degree in Hospitality Management. I spent my early career in fine dining and luxury hospitality, learning what true service excellence means. But I was always drawn to technology — the intellectual challenge, the problem-solving, the ability to create something from nothing.
In 2000, I taught myself to code. By 2007, I founded Elegant Software Solutions, combining the service excellence mindset from hospitality with technical expertise in software engineering. We've been helping enterprises build custom software solutions ever since.
Today, ESS focuses on AI enablement, data management, systems integration, and process automation. We're a 100% US-based team in Atlanta, and we pride ourselves on building software that actually solves problems — not just software for software's sake.
“Service excellence is in my blood. Whether it's hospitality or software, the goal is the same: exceed expectations.”
When I'm not building software, I'm spending time with my family, exploring the latest AI tools, or thinking about how technology can make life better for everyone. This site is my space to share those thoughts.
