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 a member of the Node.js team where I primarily contribute 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.

Speaking

I've spoken at conferences and meetups and been a guest on podcasts and livestreams. I have a list of past appearances, along with recordings from most of them, on my personal site. If you'd like me to speak at an event or be a guest on a podcast, livestream or panel please get in touch.

Goals for 2023

• Write more content and improve my personal site
• Contribute more to Node.js
• Continue building the Bad Package Manager
• Work on some creative coding projects
