Welcome to my home page!

I'm:

  • a software developer
  • a teller of moderately-funny jokes
  • Tom Murphree

I have been in IT since 2003. I have been building web applications since 2017. I've learned that every project has a grind — and I know how to work through that. My playful persistence and boundless curiosity propel me down the road to impactful, battle-tested solutions.

Three things that I like

Desert peak at golden hour above a field of purple wildflowers

Hiking

Sometimes what I do is the backpack-and-canteen activity that most people think of when you say, "hiking." Most of the time it's just getting outside and listening to what's going on. Solvitur ambulando.

Gin and tonic

Gin and tonic

After hours of course. Beer is OK, but after a hard day at work it's nice to settle in with a cold g&t. Two limes, no ice.

Monty Python foot

Monty Python

Zany and over the top, Monty Python made some of the best comedy ever. Other authors I enjoy are Ron Chernow, Terry Pratchett, and Joe Abercrombie.

Projects

Investment portfolio dashboard

Automating the tedium of asset allocation. Vue.js application that lets you focus on your risk tolerance and future plans, not the calculations.
