Hi, I’m Christoph. For over 20 years I’ve been building open source tools that shape how millions of developers work, including projects I created like Jest, Metro, Yarn, jscodeshift and MooTools. I previously led JavaScript Infrastructure and managed the React Native team in Menlo Park and London.

Today, at Nakazawa Tech, I’m building new developer tooling and indie games in the open, including:

• Athena Crisis — an open source turn-based strategy game built from scratch
• fbtee — the JavaScript & React Internationalization Framework
• ReMDX — beautiful Minimalist React & MDX Presentations
• Stack — zero-dependency, type-safe Stack component for streamlining flexbox usage in React & React Native
• Starter templates:
  • Mobile App Template
  • Web App Template
  • Server Template

I’m obsessed with developer experience and performance, and I aim to open source as much of my technology stack as possible.

Open source has shaped my journey since I first published a project in 2006 and joined GitHub in June 2008. If you want to support this work, please consider a GitHub sponsorship.
