I am looking for a full-time job.
Being independent in open source for 3.5+ years has been wonderful. I've gotten done most of the high-level goals I wanted to, and miss having people & structure around me.
If you know of a role for a staff-level TypeScript+web developer, let me know! 🙂

A year ago, @sentry.io launched the Open Source Pledge, with one singular goal: get maintainers paid.
A key pillar of the Pledge is it’s not a “pledge”, like an IOU. Rather, to join the Pledge, members come with receipts. Here’s why.
