Hey! I'm Platt Thompson.

I'm a software engineer based in Boise, Idaho.
Check below to see some of my work.

About me

Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to compose software and teach others how to do so. Working with web applications, blockchain systems, automation, and more has shown me the intricacies and subtle differences between many disparate technologies, but it has also highlighted the importance of strong design patterns and the way in which they tie everything together.

I’m always looking to enhance my knowledge of these large-scale design patterns and continue to work with highly resilient software, irrespective of the constituent technologies it entails. Learning is my passion and curiosity is my resting state, so I’m happy whenever I can grow in that space.

Take a look at some of my projects below and let me know how we can make something together.
