Selected work

Software shaped around the way people work.

Selected projects by Thomas Brenneur, founder of DEVTom: client applications, tools built for DEVTom, and a prototype under development. Each solves a different part of a real workflow.

Application screenshots show actual interfaces in isolated demos with fictional data; development previews are labelled. Client identities and private application data are kept out of this presentation.

The foundation follows the workflow

These projects span different delivery approaches. DEVTom chooses the architecture for the application, its users and its constraints. DEVTom Engine is one foundation under active development and used selectively.
