Tom Nagle

Senior Software Engineer · Sunshine Coast, QLD

I'm a senior software engineer with 10+ years of experience, the last seven at startups. I work across the full stack and I've led products from concept to delivery. I like getting involved early, working with product managers and designers to understand the problem before deciding what to build.
