AI-native software developer with an economics lens
Thomas Scott Meade II
Most people call me Tommy.
I build software and AI-enabled systems informed by experience in enterprise development, financial services, design, and education. My standard is clear judgment under real constraints.
Positioning
Design, accessibility, and localization as core opportunities
Automation in service of human judgment
CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional
Where the lens comes from.
Financial planning taught me to read a system by its incentives, costs, controls, and exclusions. Development taught me to distinguish durable systems from fragile abstractions and to rebuild what no longer served its purpose. I work there now, where finance, software, design, and AI meet.
I am a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional. I include it to explain how I think. This site does not offer financial planning, investment advisory, tax, accounting, or legal services.
Principles
Simplicity
I prefer simple, inspectable structures that keep their shape under pressure and stay cheap to change.
Accessibility
Accessibility and localization are part of the work. They decide whether real people can actually use what I build.
Judgment
Good work starts with clear constraints, real evidence, and honest tradeoffs.
