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. Writing about the tools I use (2026-02-02)
2. Generative AI takes away the opportunity to develop taste (2026-01-23)
3. "Unsubscribe from everything" December (2026-01-11)

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.
