Inexplicably I now help lead a Palestinian advocacy org called Tech For Palestine, which I founded with a core group of about 40 others.
I've been working on Darklang since late 2016. I'm taking a hiatus to work on Tech For Palestine. You can follow that work in various places:
- Darklang blog,
- changelog,
- Discord, and [mailing
- list](https://darklang.com/mailing-list)
- Github (me, Darklang, Tech For Palestine)
- Mastodon (me, Darklang)
- Twitch (me, Darklang)
- Twitter (me, Darklang, Tech for Palestine)
I previously was founder and CEO of CircleCI. I wrote a bunch of early stuff on the CircleCI blog, including this piece that I'm extremely proud of.
I also did a PhD in Compilers and Static Analysis, and my research papers are online (also includes some research on sorting algorithms)
