My name is Tommy Hegarty. I am a DevOps engineer at MarginEdge, sometime theater maker, casual writer, and aspiring historian. You can find here some examples of my work and details about my ongoing education. I am currently located in Staunton, Virginia, where I spend my time reading, writing, and talking to my wife and our two cats (usually to the former about the latter).

Networks of Thomas Cromwell
A rough-drafted project to study the letters of Thomas Cromwell to see who he was writing to and about what. This is mostly for the purpose of testing code generation tools & expanding NLP knowledge & visualization skills.
