Building kick, Proactivee and Tech Sprout

TomHarb

Full-stack web developer

I build web products end to end with Ruby on Rails and Next.js, and I love shipping tools other developers use.

About me

Developer and software engineering student.

I'm Tom, a full-stack developer who works with Ruby on Rails, Next.js and React, with Python and a cyber security itch on the side. I like learning new tools and languages, and I like turning that learning into products.

Right now I'm working as a junior full-stack developer, building a developer platform called Proactivee, alongside multiple other smaller open-source projects.

Fun fact: I love Minecraft. This whole site is a little world built around that.
