Tom Voss
Systems architect and platform engineer building production software, operational systems, and cloud infrastructure.
Senior hands-on engineer with deep experience designing, building, and operating production systems across applications, APIs, integrations, cloud infrastructure, and internal platforms. Focused on practical architecture, operational resilience, automation, and long-term system ownership.
What I Do
Areas where I've spent the most time designing, building, and operating real production systems.
Platform Engineering
Designing and operating internal platforms, operational tooling, and business systems that support day-to-day operations at scale. Focus on maintainability, deployment pipelines, developer tooling, and long-term ownership.
Full-Stack Systems
Building end-to-end production systems across frontend applications, APIs, databases, background workflows, and operational infrastructure using modern JavaScript and cloud-native tooling.
Cloud & Edge Infrastructure
AWS and Cloudflare infrastructure design, hybrid networking, edge-native architectures, deployment systems, observability, and operational reliability for production workloads.
Internal Tools
Developing operational software that reduces manual work, improves visibility, standardizes workflows, and integrates directly with core business systems and ERP platforms.
Integrations & Data Pipelines
Designing APIs, integrations, synchronization workflows, and data pipelines that allow independent systems to exchange reliable operational data across business boundaries.
Operational Resilience
Production operations, disaster recovery, incident response, monitoring, and infrastructure recovery planning with an emphasis on practical reliability and business continuity.
Selected Projects
Selected systems, platforms, and infrastructure projects I've designed, built, or operated.
WaitFor
Event coordination platform for asynchronous workflows, operational messaging, and AI-agent interactions
Open Operational State
Operational state specification and tooling for machine-readable service health and status
VossLink Internal Operations Platform
Internal operations platform integrating ERP workflows, automation, reporting, and operational tooling across the business
Engineering Approach
I'm most effective in environments where engineering ownership extends beyond writing code — into architecture, operations, resiliency, deployment, integration, and long-term system evolution. I tend to gravitate toward systems that solve operational problems, reduce complexity, and continue delivering value over time.
