Understanding gives form to what comes next.
Work / professional + independent
The model matters. So do the data, workflow, interface, and decisions around it.
At Crossmark Global Investments, my work has grown from quantitative models and reporting into the infrastructure people use around them: research data, explainable screening, investment workflows, internal web applications, monitoring, and small tools that remove repetitive work.

↗About / Thomas Pratt
I am a software engineer in Houston. I started in quantitative development and now build across investments, research, operations, infrastructure, and the interfaces connecting them.
Before that, I studied computer science and competed in pole vault and sprints at Rice University, earning all-conference honors.
Across disciplines, I keep returning to the same loop: discovery shapes understanding, understanding shapes form, and each form reveals what to look for next. 2layers is the name I give that practice.
Software that gives complex processes a clear, dependable form.
Nature, long exposures, color, people, and self-portraits: another way of learning through attention.
Form / Function / 04
These interactive forms test the same loop at small scale: mathematical structure becomes visual form, and the form exposes something new.
