Hi š, I'm Evan Schwartz.
I'm an ideas person, inventor, and software engineer (Rust/Typescript). I'm currently looking for my next big project and tinkering with some async Rust things in the meantime.
When in a new environment, system, or company, I try to find what the most important problem is and then dive into working on it. My favorite thing is finding simple, clever solutions to apparently complex problems and then taking them from idea to reality. I also enjoy building community, giving presentations, and trying to explain ideas in ways that are easy to understand.
The three most significant projects I've worked on thus far are Autometrics, TurboVPB and Turbo Phonebank, and Interledger.
Previously, I've worked at TigerBeetle, Fiberplane, and Ripple.
Outside of work and programming, I spend time running, cooking, taking beginner salsa lessons, reading about political economy (among many other topics), and sometimes making ceramics.
