Frequently Asked Questions

I am a Pittsburgh-based author and software developer. I wrote Practical Cryonics, a clear-eyed guide to the science, ethics, and logistics of life extension, and I build custom software, websites, and business systems for small companies. This site is my author hub; my development work and articles live on trenttompkins.net.

It is a plain-language book about cryonics and life extension: how the science actually works, what it can and cannot promise today, the ethical questions it raises, and the practical logistics of arranging it. It is written for curious readers, not just specialists.

You can read Practical Cryonics free online at practicalcryonics.com, or buy a copy on Amazon if you prefer to own it. If you enjoy it, a review genuinely helps other readers find it.

I take on custom PHP and Python development, full website design and build, custom content-management systems, SEO site structure, conversion-focused direct-response copywriting, AI and automation integration, and general business-systems work. In short: the software and web plumbing a small business needs to run and grow.

With a short conversation about what you are trying to accomplish. I scope the work, give you a clear plan and estimate, and only then start building. You always know what is being done and why before any code is written.
