Hi, my name is Tom and I am a software engineer who loves working on products that make a positive impact on people's lives. I studied Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UC Berkeley and I am currently a Software Engineer at Meta, where I focus on building products for Facebook Social. When I'm not coding, I enjoy spending my time dancing, cooking, and gaming. I am always excited to connect with and learn from others. Looking forward to chatting!
