Front End Engineering Lead

I have lots of front end infra/engineering effectiveness experience from my almost-5-year tenure working on LinkedIn.com, where I was the tech lead until a year ago. I built the Ember TypeScript team, got LinkedIn’s TS effort funded and was the tech expert for the effort—when other folks hit an area they couldn’t figure out how to write safe and accurate types for, they pinged me. I also have significant experience with Rust education: I ran the New Rustacean podcast 2015–2019, and this summer I wrote a new chapter on async/await for the official Rust book (currently in revision!). Looking for roles with a particular kind of impact on the world, but fairly wide open about the details—though I particularly love and excel at framework and API design, and open source leadership and ecosystem development. I also have a passion for, but am relatively new at, PL work. As a bonus, I am a very good teacher, mentor, and public speaker; you can find a number of talks by me on YouTube, including most recently at StaffPlus New York.
