Thomas Wilson-Cook

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

I want to build a world that is more kind and fair to everyone, even when it's hard.

Writing

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. Winter Solstice 2025 (2025-12-21)
2. Website Changelog: 2025-12-18 (2025-12-18)
3. Advent of Code 2025 - Day 5 (2025-12-14)

Career

I am a Lead Developer in the UK's Civil Service, helping digital teams build software for our justice system. I have previously helped make bike insurance more fair at Laka, and before that I was Head of Software Engineering at Oxwash, building tools for actually sustainable laundry and wet cleaning.
