Hi, I’m Tommy. By day, I’m a product manager at a digital health company. By night (and most of the weekend), I’m the person who will absolutely derail a dinner conversation to talk about a book I just finished, a restaurant I need you to try, or why the Oscars got it wrong again.
TT13 started as a personal branding thing — my initials plus my jersey number growing up. It stuck. TT13Works is where I actually put that energy to use: a place for me to write about the stuff I care about, the way I’d actually talk about it.
Every week I publish a post called Musings — a digest that covers whatever’s on my mind across technology, books, food and travel, sports, and pop culture. Some weeks it’s a deep dive into how AI is reshaping healthcare billing. Other weeks it’s a Korean BBQ review or a take on the latest Pulitzer winner. The format lets me follow my curiosity instead of forcing everything into a single lane.
The bigger vision is to build this out across the full calendar year — NBA playoffs in the spring, Oscar predictions in the winter, Pulitzer coverage when the shortlists drop, travel stories from wherever I end up. Not everything is here yet, but that’s the direction.
If you’re into thoughtful takes, strong opinions, and writing that doesn’t take itself too seriously — welcome. I’m glad you’re here.
— TT13
Clearly AI generated picture of us, but it’s still a cute version of my little guy, Koda.
