Thomas Paras
Technologist & Artist
I'm Thomas Paras: a systems-minded creative living in San Francisco.
Most recently, I was a Product Support Specialist at TripIt for a decade, where I focused on maintaining and expanding the structured data templates that made our app do its magic.
At TripIt, I was an early adopter of AI tooling. With the help of Claude Code, I built tools that increased my output by 4x. I'm looking for an opportunity to continue this work elsewhere.
For nearly two decades, I've volunteered at Bindlestiff Studio — the epicenter for Filipino American performing arts — working across roles as actor, playwright, director, and producer.
