I’m Tom Sykes, a C# / Unity developer focused on tooling, education tech, and scalable content pipelines. I design and build feature-rich applications (like Chess Tools) with robust rules engines, interactive learning systems, and multi-platform rendering in 2D and 3D. Beyond coding, I create educational content on YouTube and lead self-hosted projects like TypeGo to explore language design and compiler tooling. I enjoy explaining technical concepts clearly and bridging game development with education.
