It’s been radio silence on my site for almost two years. Since my last post, I got hired by one of my dream companies: Stack Overflow. I have always enjoyed building tools to make the developer experience easier for everyone, so it should be no surprise that working at Stack Overflow has always been a dream of mine. I have actually applied to Stack Overflow twice in my life; the first time, I didn’t even make it to the phone screening. The second time, I got hired. If at first you don’t succeed, give up. Or something like that, right?

Everything I do is out of sheer unbearable boredom where I'd go crazy if I didn't keep myself occupied. In turn, you get to benefit from the random things I build. Here are some of the roles I'm most known for:
- BZFlag core developer
- highlight.js core team
- highlight.php maintainer
- Creator of jekyll-toc and jekyll-anchor-headings
- developer for WordPress' Syntax-highlighting Code Block plugin
- vfsStream co-maintainer
- bottomline (PHP's lodash equivalent) co-maintainer
If any of my projects or work has saved you or your company any money, time, headaches, or effort, or has brought you any joy, please consider supporting me and my ventures!
