Summary
Thomas Fulton is a Senior Software Engineer in Old Toronto with 9 years of experience specializing in developer tooling, productivity, and infrastructure for high-performing teams. At Instacart he built Bento, cutting local environment maintenance from 10 to 3 hours per engineer per week, and created Bento CI plus in-house Python microservice and feature-flagging frameworks. At Robinhood he led a company-wide Python upgrade (3.8→3.11), built Bazel tooling and a Bazel-native CLI distribution, and rewrote a core VCS algorithm in Rust to improve code push performance.
