About succont
succont is my software development business, run by me, Tobias Tom. I work on every project myself, so you always deal directly with the person building your software.
I founded the company in Germany in 2005. What started with websites and online stores has grown to include apps, backend systems, and infrastructure. The name succont comes from “successful content”. For me, it captures the idea that software should have a useful purpose and help a business get something done.
The company moved from Germany to Portugal in 2021 and is now formally known as Tobias Tom Unipessoal LDA. succont is the name I use for my software development work.
Keeping the business small is a deliberate choice. It keeps communication direct, decisions quick, and the technical work close to the person responsible for it. Some projects need additional expertise or capacity. In those cases, I work with people from my professional network who share my focus on quality, practical solutions, and software that remains useful over time.
About Tobias Tom
I’ve been developing software since 1998. Over the years, I’ve worked across the different parts of digital products, from physical servers and databases to backend systems, APIs, frontends, and infrastructure.
I’ve never wanted to focus on just one part of the stack. Understanding how the pieces fit together helps me make better decisions about the system as a whole.
My work has covered projects of very different sizes and across various industries. I’ve built online stores for animal products and outdoor gear, worked on startups for online communities and artisanal food products, and developed content-driven websites with thousands of documents and different output formats.
