About Me

Tomás de las Casas

My story begins in an unexpected place, earning a PhD in Organic Chemistry. While the research was fascinating, I craved something that could create immediate, tangible impact. In 2013, I made the leap into programming, trading lab coats for keyboards and discovering my true calling: building technology that transforms how people work and live.

Since then, I've tackled challenges across industries, from orchestrating secure financial transfers between banks to architecting backend microservices for telecom giants, crafting e-commerce platforms, and powering AI-driven search engines. Each project reinforces my core belief: the most powerful technology feels effortless to use.

My toolkit spans modern languages like Java, Python, and TypeScript, paired with cloud-native expertise across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. I've worn many hats, DevOps engineer automating deployments with Terraform and Ansible, blockchain developer crafting explorers and smart contracts in Solidity, and most recently, AI architect building intelligent data ingestion pipelines that turn raw information into searchable insights.

What drives me is elegant architecture that scales and code that stands the test of time. I thrive on solving complex problems with simple, maintainable solutions.

Beyond the screen, you'll find me lost in sci-fi worlds or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen, both fuel my creativity in different ways. Whether we're exploring a new hiking trail as a family or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, these moments with my wife and kids remind me what truly matters and keep me inspired for whatever challenge comes next.
