Thomas Wilson-Cook

I craft well-meaning things, like software, clothes, photographs, and words.

I want to help build things that don't rely on exploitation, excessive waste, or dishonesty; and to try and build a kinder, fairer world even when it's hard.


I try to think and be curious, which is why I keep a weblog and, equally worth mentioning, what got me through a Ph.D. in Education Technology.

Here are some things I've written recently:

  1. Reading more challenging books (2025-02-14)
  2. books and the small web (2025-02-12)
  3. Vibe Check #22 (2025-02-02)

Right now I am a Senior Software engineer at Laka, making insurance genuinely fairer. Before that, I was Head of Software Engineering at Oxwash, building tools for actually sustainable laundry and wet cleaning.
