About

Hello! Not sure what brought you here, but welcome to the party :)

My name is Thomas Quigley Malcolm, but I generally go by Quigley (also Quig, Quigs, Quigglez, Squigglez; you get the jist). I grew up in a small town in Northern Wisconsin, currently live in Iowa City, and I long to return to PNW.

Professionally I'm currently a Open Source Software Engineer. I enjoy building software that solves problems others experience, and have been doing so for a bit over a decade. Also, I used to be an ice cream maker. Did so for seven years. I've now been not an ice cream maker for longer than I ever was one, but still day dream about making it and caring for the machines.

Non-professionally I do a great many other things, with varying degrees of seriousness and aptitude. I like to run, bike, read, and cuddle my cat sons. I play TTRPGs like D&D, and still consider myself a GM even though I haven't personally GM'd a game in 4 years. I have a nice camera, but take less photos than I'd like. Oh and I like play board games, a lot.

If you're trying to track me down in Iowa City, I can probably be found working in MERGE coworking space or meandering through Hickory Hill Park.
