Hello! My name is Tom Irons.

I'm from Grand Rapids, MI and I've been programming since 2014. It started with just tinkering around in Visual Basic and has evolved into creating projects solo or teaming up with other developers. When programming, I strive to keep clean code and test driven development at the forefront of my mind. Clean code makes it effortless for other developers to jump into the code. Test driven development helps to future proof and catch programming errors along the way. As technology progresses, I'm always eager to stay ahead of the curve on what's happening.

The purchase of a half finished website jump started my interest in programming. After the company could no longer finish it, I started to delve deeper into the code and became very intrigued with how the code worked. Laravel was discovered through this experimental time. I furthered my interest through online courses and creating various prototype applications. I have developed my own packages and contributed to other open source packages and projects to expand my skill set. I’m always on the lookout for an opportunity to create an application to benefit others. I'm a software developer based out of Grand Rapids, MI. I'm the founder and CEO of Byte Me Labs, a software development company that specializes in building web/mobile applications and websites.
