Tommy Adams

DevOps Engineer

I build systems that scale and improve the workflow while doing so.

In 2024, I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University, focusing on computer systems. My studies allowed me to grow my knowledge in APIs, databases, distributed systems, operating systems, networking, parallel programming, and more. I was also able to explore my passion for ancient history, achieving a minor in history with a focus on empires.

I've also had the privilege in my early career of working on a coaching platform, founding a startup, and working at a security company. Currently, I am a DevOps engineer at a civil engineering firm, hoping to expand my knowledge and start my career in building / maintaining complex systems and improving the developer experience.

Moosh

Moosh was my senior capstone project at Stanford. It is a GPT-powered Spotify playlist curator meant to use your listening history and behaviors in combination with an ingested prompt to curate the best playlist for you in the moment. It is currently in beta, with hopes to be production ready within the year.
