About Me

👋 My name is Ian, I live in Calgary, Canada 🇨🇦 and I work as a Principal Software Engineer at Neo Financial where we're building digital banking products for Canadians.

I’m the maintainer of Create React App and I contribute to Node.js as part of the Tooling Working Group. I also work on a number of other open source projects, mostly in the JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems.

If you are interested in supporting any of my open source work I encourage you to sponsor me on GitHub.

Goals for 2020

• Write some content for my personal site
• Release Create React App 4.0
• Contribute to more open source projects that I use. I want to contribute to all the main parts of my tech stack.
• Travel more and visit friends I've made through open source in San Francisco, Toronto, Seattle, Portland and London 😞
