Thomas Jenkins

Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Thomas Jenkins developed an early fascination with technology by taking apart his family's computer at age twelve—much to his parents' dismay. What started as childhood curiosity evolved into a lifelong passion for understanding how hardware and software work together to shape our digital world.

After earning his degree in Computer Engineering from Georgia Tech, Thomas spent over a decade working at the intersection of hardware design and software development. His career has taken him from semiconductor companies to cloud infrastructure firms, giving him a unique perspective on how physical components and code create the technology we use every day.

Thomas writes to demystify complex technical concepts for curious minds. Whether exploring the latest processor architecture, diving into embedded systems, or explaining how software optimizes hardware performance, he believes that understanding technology empowers us to use it more effectively.

When he's not writing or tinkering with his latest Raspberry Pi project, Thomas can be found exploring Atlanta's tech scene, mentoring aspiring engineers, or debugging code while enjoying a strong cup of coffee.

His work focuses on making hardware and software concepts accessible to everyone—from beginners taking their first steps into tech to professionals looking to broaden their understanding across the hardware-software divide.
