Bio
Nick Snyder
I managed Tomás over multiple years at Sourcegraph and during this time he transitioned between being an engineer and an engineering manager. As an engineer, I saw Tomás effectively dig in to complex technical problems and ship pragmatic high quality solutions. I knew I could throw hard projects Tomás's way and trust they would get solved well. Tomás also demonstrated excellent technical communication (both written and verbal) and advocated for improvements to how the team communicated in a remote environment, such as our RFC process. As the team grew, I invited Tomás to step into a management role because he had a high level of empathy for his teammates and proactively thought about how we could operate better as a team. The thing I most appreciated about my experience working with Tomás was that he had a growth mindset, and he was always grateful for and receptive to feedback.

It's pretty rare to come across someone like Tomás. He excels both as an individual contributor and a team leader, allowing him to move fluidly throughout the organization to get things done. Tomás was my manager when I joined Sourcegraph, and we worked on multiple projects together. He was excellent at identifying and separating the details that mattered from those that didn't. He also had a knack for successfully diving into the murkiest areas of the code at a moment's notice, a trait I am still confounded by and jealous of. He demonstrated an excellent grasp of technical skills, judgment, and product understanding, which gave me plenty of confidence in him as a leader. He also exhibited considerable empathy as I navigated several tough personal issues during that time. In short, I recommend Tomás fully and with no reservations. I hope that we work together again in the future.
