GitHub Sponsors Profile
Hiya, I'm Phil, or @kitten!
I'm currently working on Devtools at Expo, and am working on Open Source projects of varying use-cases on the side
If you're lurking around in the GraphQL, React, or general JavaScript community, maybe we've met before! I passionately support and/or build projects in the React, Reason, and GraphQL ecosystems, and am focused on solving interesting problems while improving everyone's Developer Experience. 💡
Generally this means you'll see me on tools that gravitate towards tooling & architecture to make your job hopefully a little easier and more enjoyable.
I maintain a list of projects I have and am working on at github.com/kitten (direct link to the table of projects)
I used to work on GraphQL Open Source under the @0no-co umbrella as an independent contractor, and used to work on various projects at @FormidableLabs (now known as Nearform Commerce)
A lot of my free time is often planned in to try out new experiments and ideas to either utilise these tools to their fullest or make new tools that enable me or others to make other cool apps and tools! That's why I see this community as a very valuable and powerful driving force that can get further than most would expect!
I don't work on Open Source full-time, but in bursts, but I do appreciate the occasional cup of coffee and tea, which is why GitHub Sponsors exists, I suppose! ☕💖
