Tom Cummings

I'm Tom Cummings, a US-based software engineer. Previously, I worked in global health and epidemiology. For the past few years, I've worked for SaaS companies with missions that I find interesting. Check out my résumé and feel free to contact me via email (cummings dot t287 at gmail dot com) or LinkedIn.

This site

The name of the site - Nini Mo Tom - is a phonetic rendering of an introduction in the Sapo offshoot of the West African Kru language spoken in Liberia, equivalent to "call me Tom". You can hear a bit of the language spoken by a native speaker here (that video was recorded by me, coincidentally).

I divide the stuff I post on the site between real posts, which are - relatively - finished chunks of thought that won't change, and notes, which are either off-the-cuff, work-in-progress, or are epistemically low-effort. I welcome discussion or questions about anything on the site; reach out through email. You can read about how the site is made in the colophon.
