Thomas FarrellSoftware Engineer & Data Scientist
About

I'm graduating from the University of Arkansas with a B.S. in Computer Science and a minor in Mathematics. I design and deploy backend systems, cloud infrastructure, and real-time data pipelines that solve complex engineering challenges.

My experience spans environmental monitoring systems (real-time sensor data at scale), enterprise automation (PowerShell-based data extraction pipelines), signal processing research (Voyager 2 heliospheric turbulence analysis), and VR applications (behavioral data capture for neurodevelopmental assessment). I'm passionate about distributed systems, data engineering, and leveraging automation for tangible real-world impact.

Actively seeking full-time Software Engineer and Data Science roles. Based in Fayetteville, AR.
