Hi, I’m Tom Barrasso 👋 #
I’ve been building digital experiences for years. I have launched products for some of the biggest and most respected brands, managed and mentored engineers and program managers, and ran cross-functional programs across large-scale organizations.
I code, write, speak, climb, mentor, practice, listen, read, run, encourage, travel, and much more.

Like this Celtic spiral knot, triads, triplicities, and the rule of three shows up in many places. The Holy Trinity in Catholicism: the father, son, and holy spirit. The Trimurti in Hinduism: Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. In space: x, y, and z, and in time: past, present, and future.
People • Process • Programming. I start with People: their interests, inspirations, and incentives that connect and motivate individual action. Then I focus on Process: the rules, rituals, and repetitions that foster cooperation and collective action. Lastly, I turn my attention to Programming: code (dev environment), compilation (build, test + deploy), and cloud (runtime & execution).
About this site #
The blob on the homepage is a metaball, something I built back in 2017 at Maark while building data visualizations like the Morningstarâ„¢ Style Box in the Fund Compare Tool on John Hancock Investments. My resume is typeset in HTML, based on a version I created in 2018. Although this is a static website built using Hugo, much of this website explores randomness. So the version you are experiencing will likely never exist exactly as it does right now.
