👋🏽 Hi friends, I'm Will.
I'm currently a design systems developer advocate learning to
survive thrive with ADHD while juggling my three little kids.
I love teaching other developers and helping them build a better
career.
Here are some things I've worked on:
- Helping maintain Canvas Kit, an open source design system library that implements the Workday Canvas Design System. I focus most on welcoming new contributors and supporting our internal developer community.
- Growing the React Denver community through monthly events
- Speaking at several conferences like JSConf Iceland, CascadiaJS, React Rally, and Nodevember. I'm speaking again soon at JSNation about building your own JavaScript tools.
- Encouraging others to give their first meetup or conference talk
- Publishing a browser extension to add a table of contents to GitHub READMEs and Markdown files, before they implemented it themselves
- Writing a bunch of ESLint rules and reducing code review feedback
- Teaching people how to write their first JavaScript tool through talks, workshops, and a little website: astsareawesome.com
