About
Marketer first. Builder second.
I spent years doing marketing the manual way — running an e-commerce store I founded, consulting on campaign strategy, restructuring social channels. The work taught me what good marketing output actually looks like.
Then I learned to build software, and the two skills compounded. Instead of writing one strategy document, I built an engine that writes them. Instead of briefing a designer for ad variations, I built a pipeline that generates them. That work became Tom's Marketing OS — a production app I use every day.
