    Software Engineer

    Hey guys!

    My name is Tom Hessburg, you've possibly seen me on TikTok under the handle @tomisloading.

    I've be coding for 4 or 5 year, professionally for ~3-4. I've worked at Wayfair, a small startup I ran with my brother called SkillSpace, and currently work for Eventbrite. Before this career I was a pipe welder.

    I spend a lot of time outside of work creating short form code and career related content on TikTok (+occasionally YouTube, though I'm pretty bad about keeping up with it). I teach beginner/intermediate web dev concepts, primarily frontend stuff. I also try to sprinkle in some career stuff for pre-first job devs with the intent to help them land their first coding job.
