TOM FANTA

About

Backend engineer with 10+ years building scalable systems across fintech, data services, and games. Most recently, founding engineer at an AI agentic platform, building high-scale data services and third-party integrations from the ground up. Python is my main tool, with deep experience in production environments.

Before backend and AI, I worked in game development — releasing two mobile games (Shape Eater and Mountain Rage) built with Construct and Unity, and a multiplayer competitive strategy game built on XNA/C#.

Utopia through AI advancement — that's the direction I want to keep building toward.

I'm open to what's next: ideally something at the intersection of games and AI, but I'm just as interested in AI or backend engineering roles at companies that have AI at their core. I believe that's where things are heading, and I want to be building there.
