Greetings, Programs!
(Yes, I'm old.)
Hi, I'm Evan. I'm an Engineering Manager at SDVI, and a longtime frontend and JavaScript engineer. Formerly an Eng Manager at HashiCorp and at Fastly, I've spent the past four years and change managing teams, and over a decade creating rich JavaScript applications. While I've always had a passion for writing code, coaching people and helping teams do their best work is what drives me today.
I take a people-focused approach to helping teams write software and deliver features; I firmly believe the happiness of a team directly correlates to the quality of its output, and prioritizing team health above all else is an amazingly effective path to getting great results. Shocker, I know.
This website is still very much a WIP but I'm a big fan of iteration and trying stuff out.
When I'm Not at Work
I'm often playing video games. I used to stream them on Twitch, but I have been on hiatus for a while due to life being incredibly busy. Maybe I'll get back to it eventually.
I write video game reviews for Saving Content, and host the site's podcast, Quicksve along with the site's Editor in Chief and my dear friend Scott Ellison II.
I run a coffee-focused Instagram account where I document my coffee making process, beans that I sample, tools that I like (and review), and practice my latte art. If you like coffee you should give me a follow!
I love to cook, though I don't often have as much time for it as I'd like these days. I do bust out the occasional tasty meal when time allows it, though.
