Create. Share. Repeat.
Hey, I'm Tom WestonI started work life as a tree surgeon back in 2005, hauling myself and a chainsaw up trees each day until I decided to pack it all in and start writing code for a living.
I now run Vantagea, an applied AI consultancy where I build production agent systems for enterprise clients. I previously worked at Pulumi as a Customer Success Architect. I spent the first 20 years of my life in the Canary Islands surfing some of the worlds most deadly waves and now Im living in Sussex, England with my amazing wife, beautiful daughter and muddy spaniel.
I love building all things physical and digital. When I'm not working, I rock climb, surf, and drink vino tinto.
