About Me

Hi, I'm Tom Tobias, a technology professional with a unique blend of IT and business expertise. I've had the privilege of working with organizations of all sizes—from agile startups to Fortune 500 enterprises—where I've learned that successful technology solutions require both technical depth and business acumen.

Professional Background

My career spans across multiple disciplines, combining hands-on technical work with strategic business thinking. I hold an MBA from UCLA Anderson School of Management, which has given me a strong foundation in understanding how technology drives business value.

On the technical side, I've developed deep expertise in enterprise platforms, particularly Salesforce, where I hold multiple certifications including Data Architect, Sharing and Visibility Architect, Platform Developer II, and JavaScript Developer. I'm also a Certified ScrumMaster, reflecting my commitment to effective team collaboration and agile methodologies.

What Drives Me

Currently, I'm fascinated by the transformative potential of artificial intelligence. We're at an inflection point where AI isn't just changing how we build software—it's fundamentally reshaping careers, workflows, and entire industries. I believe the professionals who thrive in this new era will be those who can effectively partner with AI tools while maintaining the critical thinking and domain expertise that only humans bring.

My Approach

Throughout my career, I've been described as a "true team player" who brings deep domain expertise and unwavering commitment to stakeholder success. I believe the best solutions emerge when technical excellence meets real-world business needs, and when teams collaborate openly to solve complex problems.
