Hello, I'm

Thomas Oakes

I build software and hardware projects—from robotics to mobile apps—that turn ideas into working systems.

I work across code, electronics, and real-world builds.

02 What I Build

Systems across code,
hardware, and motion.

Software

Full-stack web apps, mobile apps, and APIs — building products from front to back.

Electronics

Circuits, Raspberry Pi, and embedded systems — from schematic to finished hardware.

Robotics

Motion systems, control logic, and automation — making machines move and respond.

03 About

"I'm happiest when making progress on something hard — whether it's a codebase, a circuit, or a climb."

I'm Thomas — a maker and engineer who works across software and hardware. Whether I'm writing code, soldering circuits, or scaling a wall, I'm always building something.

This site documents the projects I've shipped: from a senior capstone autonomous vehicle system to a React Native climbing app, a hand-soldered LED cube, and a face-tracking servo build.
