Thomas Weaver, Head of Platform Engineering: Next-Level Innovation in SaaS Engineering

Parking, historically, has been slow to embrace modern tech.

However, over the past 10-15 years, the appetite for new tech has increased significantly.

Now there’s a constant influx of new technologies hitting the market, which has resulted in massive fragmentation – a persistent issue that no one company has been able to solve.

Thomas is addressing this problem in a meaningful way by bringing a highly analytical engineering mindset to architecting Ocra’s software-as-a-service platform.

As a key member of our engineering team, he builds systems that automate, scale, and defragment legacy processes and tilt parking towards a more data-driven future.

What sets Thomas apart is his ability to challenge the status quo for the sake of solving problems and advancing progress.

Every day, he helps the parking industry evolve into a more integrated part of the wider mobility and logistics landscape.

We’re thrilled to celebrate Darren and Thomas, and proud to work alongside them.

Their leadership, creativity, and impact are truly shaping the future of parking.

With their induction into National Parking Associations 40 Under 40, Darren and Thomas join their Ocra teammates Sarah Becherer (’18), Ethan Glass (’20), Avarie Anderson (’20), Nate Dunning (’21), Chris Everton (’21), Leo Connelly (’23), Meagan McKinnon (’24), & Corey Jennings (’24).

Congratulations to Darren, Thomas, & all of the well-deserving honorees this year!
