Tom Boone

Application Developer & DevOps Engineer

I've been developing web applications and technology solutions since 2004, working across various industries with a focus on building scalable, user-centered applications.

I work with a variety of programming languages—including Python, PHP, JavaScript, and HTML/CSS—and platforms/frameworks—including Flask, FastAPI, Symfony, Drupal, WordPress, and cloud platforms like Azure and AWS.

My experience spans microservice orchestration (Azure Functions, AWS Lambda, Docker, Kubernetes), event-driven architecture (Azure Storage Queue, RabbitMQ, Redis, Kafka, Celery), CI/CD pipeline implementation (GitHub Actions, Jenkins), Infrastructure as Code (Terraform), and database design with both SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server) and NoSQL (MongoDB, Azure Cosmos DB, AWS DynamoDB) systems.
