About

  • My mission is to guide and build altruistic digital applications that serve our communities and the world.

    Hello, I'm Tom Metz and I help agencies and startups architect and build scalable software solutions, guide projects through discovery and design phases, and mentor emerging developers.

    I thrive exploring big-picture ideas, solving complex challenges, and collaborating with designers on strategic plans. My journey began in 2002 when I created my first website to share my music online, before the advent of Myspace. Since then, with over two decades of coding experience, I have collaborated with many clients to deliver impactful web and mobile applications and provide strategic project guidance. 

    My primary tools include React, React Native, Next, Node, Strapi, Python & JUCE C++.

    In 2012, I proudly built Wavemod.com, the first online music mastering engine, reflecting my ongoing passion for music and technology.
