# Tim Padgett

> Engineering Manager at Forge

Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/timpadgett

I am a Senior Software Engineer and Technical Lead, highly experienced in React + Typescript and Ruby + Rails. I am passionate about building applications that afford meaningful enhancements to the end user and thrive in creating experiences through full stack development. I enjoy advocating for my product and team, frequently presenting to technical and business-focussed audiences, while shipping code and prioritizing collaboration. Formerly, I enjoyed a great career as an elite orchestral percussionist, performing with the San Francisco Symphony and advancing to the semi-final and final rounds of multiple national and international orchestral auditions.

On a personal note, I hold a deep love for music history and performance, finding inspiration in the writings of the great romantic composers and implementing that artistry in technical and artistic pursuits. I am a heavy reader and have substantial interest in blockchain technologies.
