I lead the Incubator team at Callstack, where we’re pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with React Native even further. I’m also part of the Microsoft MVP program. I’ve created a couple of libraries used by many React Native developers in their day-to-day work: Rozenite, Harness, and Voltra. Most of my work lives somewhere between developer tooling, React Native internals, and figuring out how to make things work even when they probably shouldn’t.

He can be found in northern Northern California along the coast, gazing past his computer screen at the distant ocean (courtesy of the gratuitously oversized garage-office windows).
