Thomas Trudzinski

Full-Stack Engineer
Building People Met

I’m a full-stack engineer focused on building clean, intuitive, and reliable web applications with TypeScript, React, and Next.js. Before software engineering, I spent 16+ years in SaaS and startups leading cross-functional teams, managing large-scale projects, and shipping user-facing products. Today, I combine that experience with modern development tools to design systems that feel fast, polished, and genuinely useful. When I’m not coding, I’m usually surfing or tinkering with new ideas.
