I'm Dan Tome, a senior software engineer at Capital One. Away from work, I design and ship focused apps for commuters, Mac users, and indecisive group chats.
For the past four years I've worked in fraud at Capital One. Outside work, I take products from idea to App Store: research, interface, code, release, and the unglamorous details after launch. I use new tools where they make the work better, but the measure is always the same: did this make someone's day a little easier?
When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm usually running, playing soccer or tennis, biking, hiking, climbing, or trying to make time for one more sport than the week can hold.
A native Mac shortcut layer I built after getting tired of bouncing between windows, terminals, browsers, and tools. Hold one physical modifier to open an app, folder, URL, Apple Shortcut, or development command—and ask AI to wire up whatever shortcut you need next.
Live metro arrivals for the DC-area Metro. My coworkers and I spent too much time waiting for trains, and the existing apps were slow, inaccurate, or littered with ads. I created DC Metro Tracker to be an ad-free experience with one goal: give Metro commuters the real-time Metro data and personalized alerts where and when they need it.
Social polling, made simple. Create a poll, vote with friends, and watch results land in real time. After too many group chats turned into messy “like this message to vote” threads, I built TieBreaker to make group decisions easier while sharpening my app development skills.
My inbox is open for app questions, work opportunities, and strong opinions about trail routes.
